Comet C/2019 Y4 ATLAS

My first image of C/2019/Y4 Atlas.

Unfortunatley only a few subs, clouds came in.

It took me a long time to get to the actual position of the comet:

At my location the comet is located high up in the northern sky.

First I used Regulus in the south to focus and calibrate the telescope orientation.

When I gave the command to the actual comet position, the telescope moved the

"short path"by directly turnover to north and of course,

my camera bumped into the bottom of the fork!

( I forgot to remove the 0.63 focal reducer which used up the critical space)

Restarting all over again took some time and then I manually maneuvered via "the long path" from south to east and then high up to north to the target position.

All in all I wasted valuable time and I got only a few minutes left for imaging.

That's life....

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
