Details:
Comet Atlas had a conjunction with Arp 143 (above) that is a collisional ring of galaxies. Arp 143 is one of the most interesting deep sky objects and has been studied in detail. Comet Atlas passed in a very close conjunction to the spiral galaxy PGC 21754 just above the comet's nucleus. The images were acquired by iTelescope T19 30 min Lum and 15 min H-alpha from 300 sec images filling the short window available for imaging. Processed with Astro Pixel Processor and Photoshop.
