You can find the comet C/2024 G3 ATLAS, it is not that difficult. Okay, here is the thing. Firstly I traveled again about 300 km for enough clear skies, which this time appeared over Pribylina, Slovakia. I managed to reach the place around 1pm, which meant the Sun and the comet were high enough over the horizon. Then, I put my camera on a mount with a 200mm and 1.4 teleconverter and set the mount to the north pole as precisely as possible (just by compass). All was hidden in the shadow of my car, so the Sun was not shining in the view. And then I took 72 single short exposures, which I stacked later in one image. Then only applied some mid-hard contrast and sharpening processing, and voilà--the comet popped out! Used Canon Ra, Tamron 70-200mm@200mm, 1.4x telekoverter, f4.0, ISO 100, stack of 72x1/1250s exposures taken on Vixen Polarie U.
