Object/Date:

Description:

Recent discovered interstellar comet C/2019 Q4 (Borisov) imaged in color on September 12, 2019 at 3.36 AU from Sun its brightness is magnitude 17 showing in this image a size with only 18 arcseconds in which can be observed elongated shaped toward northwest. Analyzing color channel shots seems to me that comet shines more in blue, but I can not confirm it, have to wait some days to achieve more detail.
