Comet C/2019 Y4 with TAL200K from March 26

I reworked earlier pictures from Comet C/2019 Y4 (Atlas) made on March 26, 2020. Pictures made with Nikon D7500 and TAL200K f/8.5; setting ISO6400 and 19 x 30s exposure time. Raw data converted to DNG and stacking using DeepSkyStacker with focus on the Comet. Final editing with CS4.

The picture shows a bright coma a getting brighter then previous days. Now we know the comet fell apart the beginning of April.
