Title

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
