Binocular comet ATLAS - 27.3.2020 at 22.26 - 27.3.2020 at 23.01 Hankasalmi, Murtoinen Observation number 89370

Visibility III / V

Harri Kiiskinen, Jyväskylän Sirius

The clouds stayed away this time and I was able to spot the most interesting comet of the moment. Measuring the length of the tail is a bit of a lottery, as with a good imagination you can see the tail going all the way to the edge of the picture. The measurements will probably be valid when the comet brightens.

En juuri löytänyt merkintöjä pyrstön pituudesta. Muutamat harvat oli 10 kaariminuutin luokkaa.
