Comet Johnson
Comet Johnson appears are a rather defuse smudge with no obvious head or nucleus. Comparing it to M3, it is of similar size but aprox 2 magnitudes fainter. I estimated it to be no brighter than mag 7.5.
There seemed something odd about its shape. Maybe the beginning of the tail made the nucleus appear obligated. I would love to see an image.
Within 10 minutes, I did notice some movement.
The observation was made with a 80mm F6 Triplet and a 14mm Radian. There has been lots of clouds so its not a great night for viewing.
