At last a clear night - albeit with bright moonlight.

I started off looking for comet 141P/Machholz (near Orion), but it seems that it has faded down too faint (possibly 14th magnitude?) for me to detect.

But then I slewed around towards Cassiopeia, to look for C/2019 L3.

This is yet another comet discovered by the ATLAS programme and is up to 12th magnitude:

I had another look at this comet last night:

This time I took 111x 60-sec, before the Full Moon got too high in the sky.
