Description

During the processing of Abell 39, we discovered a strange signal on the 26 first Oiii subs with a quick movment.

After some inspection, it's confirmed that the signal in the Oiii filter was the comet C/2020 R4 ATLAS with exactly the same coordinates for the day & time of acquisition.

So with just the comet in Oiii filter, we managed to put it into G and B (minus) layers to include it in the final image.

Very lucky, since this conjunction was not planned for shooting Abell 39!

We made a animated gif in the version B.

Hope you will like it,

CS, Renaud & Olivier
