Details:
Comet 3i/ATLAS ! It was very close to the horizon and the dawn glare. I mistakenly thought the Seestar had the comet's coordinates in its comet list (but that was K1 Atlas). So I frantically created a manual set of coordinates, but made a small error transposing the numbers of its coordinates. The comet's position is off of center. Due to the rapid onset of dawn, I was only able to get one 20-second photo frame successfully imaged, and then the dawn caused image failure thereafter. The star map is from Sky Safari Pro with a large star database and seems to correlate well with my capture.
