Description

I started following this comets position since the beginning of February 2021. I've been imaging the comet on a regular basis and usually the beginning of each month since I learned of it.

The comet remains in Ursa Major until later this year as it get closer to the Sun.

The comet is shaping up as the core is becoming more visible and the tail has been developing and getting longer. It is still at a magnitude 17 per JPL' s calculations and will become brighter as the comet gets closer.
