2021o3 20220513 mmattiazzo

I have attached an image of C/2021 O3 PANSTARRS on 2022 May 13 at 03:10UT.
Taken remotely using I-TEL T11 New Mexico 0.50-m @ f/4.5.
10 x1 min stack on comet. North up. FOV 10'.
The comet surprisingly appears intact, after its perihelion passage (0.29AU
on April 21).
However it is considerably fainter than pre-perihelion brightness.
I estimate Gaia photometric G magnitude = 13.0
