Description

Actually I'm looking forward to another effort on this comet since the results were surprising under non ideal sky conditions.  The plasma tail is quite evident in the first, inverted posting here.  

C/2023 E1 (ATLAS) is presently at 0.7AU and closing in on both the sun and the earth.  Perihelion is expected on July 1, 2023 and nearest to the earth in August.  The comet is presenlt brighening.
