Description

C/2021 Y1 (ATLAS) is a faint comet of around magnitude 14.6 when imaged on November 22.  Aldebaran's brightness has created quite a halo artifact in the process of stacking 46 x 60 second lights.  The comet is moving to the lower right of field into a field closer to the bluish white stars in the Hyades.  I'll process that field shortly.
