Picture of Comet C/2017 T2 Panstarrs with Nikon D7500 and TAL200K. Setting ISO3200 and 5x60s exposure time. Stacking with DeepSkyStacker on both start and comet.

Comet C/2019 Y1 with TAL200K

On the evening of April 21, I took a session of 11x60s ISO3200 pictures of Comet C/2019 Y1 (Atlas).  Pictures are stacked using DeepSkyStacker with focus on both the comet and the stars. Final editing with CS4.
The comet is rather bright; for sure when comparing with C/2019 Y which is getting fainter every day.

Comet C/2019 Y4 Desintegrating

Comet C/2019 Y would be a naked eye comet during the month May but early April it was clear that it will not be the case. It was found out that the comet was falling apart. Recent pictures with the 25years old Hubble telescope confirmed the desintegration of the Comet. The picture show different fragments.
As a comparison :) above the picture from Hubble and below my picture of the Comet. Both pictures are  taken on the same day, April 20, 2020.
