About this image

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is now available low in the morning sky after passing through solar conjunction. This image is a bit grotty since it was taken through tree branches but it shows the coma and, I think, a short tail in PA 110. My astrometry shows that it is exactly where it should be so it doesn't seem to have changed course to intercept the Earth and there is no sign of it having deployed any alien motherships. This must be a great disappointment to a certain nutty Harvard professor and his hordes of gullible social media followers.
