About this image

Cropped image of Comet Atlas imaged in blustery conditions . Nothing could be seen in 9x50 Finder but using live view and Camera in Noise reduction mode the Star field came into view. Earlier in the day I had down loaded the finder chart on the Dutch Side found through the link on the Comet Section pages. This gives Star to +11.5 Uranometria only shows +9.5 . after exposure a failnt smudge could be imagined in about the correct place. Result attached
