Chelmsford, UK

  I've just managed to image C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) in daylight from
Chelmsford, UK using a 90mm refractor and an ASI1600 camera. The
attached image is a differenced stack of two lots of 20x700us frames
offset in declination by 23 arcmin. You can see two version of the
comet, one in positive and one in negative. The orientation is N up and
the elongation is currently 7.9 deg.

  The sun and comet were both low down and the sky rather hazy so I was
surprised to get such a strong image. I have images of Venus taken just
before so I should be able to estimate the magnitude.

  Nick.
