More groundbased observations of comet 96P/ #Machholz: https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=192349 = on the morning of 5 February from Austria at 15° elongation, https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=192210 = on 31 January from France at 4° elongation when it was muuuch brighter but in the day sky right next to the Sun - but could be imaged nonetheless thanks to a crazy contraption.
