Hand sketch of eyepiece view of comet C/2025 T1 (ATLAS)

I set out to visually observe comet C/2025 T1 (ATLAS)
I used my Celestron C5 SCT, with a 28mm eyepiece, on a manual alt-az tripod, and star-hopped over to it.
It was actually fairly easy. I started from M57 and deliberately stopped at M56, to train my eyes on something relatively faint.

To me, it seemed comet C/2025 T1 was about the same size and only slightly dimmer than M56.
Once my eyes dark-adapted, and even with a quarter phase moon up, I was able to easily see it.

I then made a hand sketch, which I then converted to a digital sketch (in PowerPoint), and inverted the image.

I was inspired to do this by Armando Caussade of EarthSky, as we were discussing observing it with small telescopes.
Thanks Armando!
