Comet 3i ATLAS

Passing through Cancer at time of observation.

Thought I better have a go at 3i ATLAS before it disappears. Just as well I did as there is not a lot left to see here. Not sure I would have had a better view with the 250mm either. I have over stacked this as you can see trailing in the core. I was hoping to this might enhance the tail, which looks to be bout 1 arc min in length trailing to the East.
