Comet Leonard will pass closest to Earth on December 12, 2021 when it gets just a fifth of the distance from the Earth to the Sun to create a well-timed “Christmas Comet.” It won't pose any danger, and it may become visible to the naked eye around that time.

I'll get my telescope cleaned by then!

There are currently lots of comets visible in 2021, depending on the size of your telescope and your location on the Earth's surface...

.... and I printed the charts for (5) of them for this week's observing run, starting tomorrow night!

A dirty telescope will work just fine unless it is stupid dirty... a little dust won't make much of a difference... I wash my mirror once a year whether it needs it or not!
