Having a bit of fun with Comet 3I ATLAS

by Logan Carpenter

Equipment: StellaMira 90mm ED Triplet, ZWO ASI2600MM Pro

Integration: 40m 30s

For a bit of fun I thought I would image Comet 3I/ATLAS using the rig in Spain. I had imaged it from home a few days ago but results were not great given the fact that the comet doesn’t even breach the horizon until astronomical dawn here in NZ. Anyway, with the rig in Spain I was pleased to be able to capture a tail. And possibly an anti-tail? (what do you think- real or artefact?)
