Description

Comet 2019 T4 (ATLAS) imaged on UT 5/14/2023.  It is very long period, appx 32,000 years. Mono image processed processed in ASTAP and then a moving stack was generated in Astrometrica. There were eight exposures of 120 seconds, unguided, at sidereal rate, and these are then stacked using the ephemeris position angle and speed which was only about 0.3 arc seconds per minute.The nucleus at this point was about 16th magnitude.
