Eliot Herman
Comet Atlas C/2019 L3 and NGC 2266
10 x 150 sec iTelescope T2 a 150 mm Takahashi refractor

Although small, NGC 2266 is a nice cluster, it has stars of diverse colors that not as well presented with short exposure necessary due to the comet's motion requiring only a few minutes of capture. The different colors of the stars within the cluster is quite apparent even with short integration time. Aligned on stars, the comet although slow moving against the background is a little elongated from motion. AstropixelProcessor and Photoshop processed.
