Description

I actually never planned to shoot this comet because it was fairly low on the horizon and moving to the "southern" skies. 
I stopped doing the NEO followup just to see if would be visible, and to my surprise it was. 
I shot RGB and stacked it together with intent of leaving visible RGB colors of the stars as it was moving, probably one of the "artistical" images I have done and not usually seen. 

Similarly enough 2 years later C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was in the sky named the "green comet", funnily enough I do believe that Leonard was more green at the time rather than the ZTF. 
You can compare for yourselves how does it look.
