Details:
Comet AtlasC/2019 had a nice conjunction with NGC 2266, an old star cluster, that is about the same magnitude as the comet and has a diverse population of stars including red, blue, and yellow making for a nice composition. This is from the first night of the two nights where the comet and cluster will be in the field of view of the telescope. Captured with iTelescope T2 and the image is comprised of 5 x 150 sec exposures.
