About this image

Here's an image of C/2020 R4 (ATLAS) taken this morning from Chelmsford. The comet is in a very starry field at the moment as it crosses the Milky Way. My comphot magnitude estimate is 10.5 but other observers are getting it a magnitude or so brighter. Comphot assumes a symmetrical coma so that may explain some of the difference.
