The comet Lee in that day has positioned in Antlia with a culmination altitude of 15 degrees. Moreover, the hazy condition made difficult to observe the comet; I could detect only existence of coma through a telescope. The comet moved northward from now on, got easy to observe at Japan.
A bright star at about 30 arc minutes south of the comet is epsilon Ant. with a brightness of 4.5th magnitude.
