Comet C/2019 Y4 Atlas with TAL200K

This evening, just before Moonrise, I took some pictures of Comet C/2019 Y4 Atlas. Setting with Nikon D7500 and TAL200K f/8.5 ISO3200 and exposure time of 120s.
The exposure time was realized by connecting DSLR Nikon with DigiCamControl Software. This was my first time I did use the software. No issues were found and no interferance with Stellarium which was connected to the mount. Below is a jpg file edited with CS4.
