Binocular comet ATLAS, Orimattila, Artjärvi, Tähtikallio

The comet on the C / 2019 L3 (ATLAS) orbital (the farthest point of the orbit> 10000au perhaps parabolic) orbit was filmed on the first night of the March 2022 work. The comet was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-Impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) search program ATLAS-HKO Observatory (T05 ATLAS-HKO, Haleakala) as an asteroid on 10 June 2019. The perimeter had a comet on January 9, 2022. 2.581au January 6, 2022. We have also filmed this comet in the February campaigns.
