Description

Some reports has Comet C/2020 V2 (ZTF) breaking 10th magnitude. Presently less than Five degrees (and closing) away from Polaris, I'll need a shorter focal length to image both in the same field.  This comet won't reach perihelion until May 08, 2023 and will be closer to us in September of next year.  It is not expected to brighten much more.
