Comet Atlas Y4
in the Evening sky
April 22, 2020

 
 This
            dissinigrating comet still continues to be a great target for
            comet astro imagers. The ray type tail is becoming more evident,
            and while the comets head is fading to a ghost of it former self,
            continues to glow a nice teal color.
