Comet C/2023 E1 ATLAS visits M39

On 8/12/23 I captured the 10th magnitude Comet C/2023 when it's position coincided with M39.
The comet has a nice greenish coma but I could not see any sign of a tail.

This was a magical night from my Bortle 6 backyard.
While the set up was doing its imaging I was visually enjoying the Perseids meteor shower.
This comet will not return for another 85 years.

53x 300 seconds exposure using a Williams Optics Red Cat 61 telescope, Optolong L-Pro filter and an ASI2600MC camera.
I also uploaded a time laps movie of the 53 frames. This was a fun project.
The high quality video can be found on Youtube. https://youtu.be/7epQKIKCjqM

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.
