Comet Leonard at Christmas Eve

Finally got a mostly clear sky here in Newcastle. I was amazed at how bright it was even in bright twilight. Managed 26 x 20 secs ISO1600. 10 inch f5.6 Newtonian. Taken on Christmas eve.
Its a special comet. My dads first name is Leonard and we lost mum about a month ago, they were married 61 years. So the comet is a fitting tribute. The brightest comet I've seen in years.
