Description

Comet ATLAS on seen on the night of April 11, 2020.

Still moving through Camelopardalis at this time. The nucleus had already shattered and at least two smaller fragments can be seen. Guiding was set at sidereal rate.

60 sec OSC subframes were processed with PixInsight Batch Preprocessing and subsequently put through the CometAlign process. While the comet itself turned out OK, the combined comet plus stars image seems a bit unnatural looking. Definitely would like to acquire some addition skill at processing this type of comet image.
