Description

Two frame pano, near and including Orion's belt region, with a cameo appearance by Comet Atlas C/2020 M3. I didn't find out about this comet until it was two far from the belt. I wished I had used a wider angle for this and got the whole Orion constellation, but at least I got a shot of the comet; which was my main goal for the late night waiting out the light pollution.
