Comet ATLAS, C/2020 M3

I used an Orion EON ED80, an 80/500mm @ f/6.5 Refracting Telescope.
The Camera, at Prime Focus, was a Canon 60DA astrocamera.
I connect the camera to a laptop to capture & download images. I shoot calibration frames to stack.
This image was shot November 18th, 2020 from my observatory.
2020M3 ATLAS

I was out shooting Comet 2020 M3, ATLAS last night under unfavorable conditions. It started out down in the Statesville skydome. As it rose up into good dark sky the Moon Rose.
I'm going to wait about a week or so and try again when the Moon is out of the picture.  I was shooting 30 seconds at 1600 iso with an Orion EON ED80, prime focus at f/5.0 with a Canon 60Da.
