[px Capture Challenge] Comet ATLAS

So this fun little thing is getting closer and closer to earth and it might be worth to get out your gear and try to capture it:

  1. Please follow the rules set by your government. Doing your part in staying healthy is more important than getting the shot.

  2. I am sure not many people might have a shot of that comet already but a capture challenge is about getting the shot. not grabbing something from your archives. Rules for capturing challenges

Sadly, looks like the comet blows up…

Well that’s crazy!

Two nights ago, It was almost vanished:

For reference, in the same picture, near one of the borders I captured NGC 2403, a 8.8 mag galaxy that was clearly brighter that the comet

So C/2019 Y4 has gone :frowning:

Hubble did a pic.

Indeed, the comet blowed up. Now I’m waiting for the next one.

Darn. Our first interstallar comet was a just divine wind (神風!).*
