Description

I captured this data on 4/10/2020 during the buildup of expectations for C/2019 Y4 ATLAS. Little did I know that the comet was likely in the process of breaking up. Ultimately this data was difficult to process due to the lack of a very defined nucleus. I had hoped to capture the breakup when I found out about it, but it appears the conditions were not good enough. I think I can see an elongated nucleus, but that's about it.
