The moon has become fatter. This year's Leonids seem to be less active and I have decided not to go to the observatory.Because GSC is not usable, PPM was used to calculate comet positions for the first time recently. The accuracy suffers because the number of stars available is smaller, the distance from the comet is large, and the star image is spread. I wonder how accurate my measurements are.
