Description:
Comet C/2020 R4 (ATLAS) on March 27, 2021, my first image of this comet after eleven failed attempts due to the storms hit Australia in March. Currently at magnitude 9 it could reach magnitude 8 by the end of April. The image shows a gasy coma of 6 arcminutes in angular size (275,000 km) with an intense green color indicating a C2 strong emission, with a sharp central condensation and an ionic tail of 5 arcminutes. The field is about 1 square degree centered in the south of the constellation Aquila.
