About this image

Comet C/2019 LS ATLAS passed perihelion in early January and is now heading out away from the Sun. There have only been three opportunities for me to attempt imaging since then. I have a fondness for this object chiefly because it sparked a late [and developing] interest in the comet family. I ‘m starting to understand the imaging constraints. I look forward to capturing something with a discernible tail of course.
