Using the #SeeStar S50 to capture interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS right now and I'm definitely capturing it. It's this blurry line right here.

Multiple minutes of photo data capture have been combined in the image, causing the blurry line to show as the comet moves. The blurry line lines up with the expected position and motion relative to the stars of the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas.

The brightest star in the image is "HIP 50792 - HD 89848 - SAO 118260" based on the databases I have loaded in Stellarium.

@toba it was so windy here last night our Dwarf3s couldn't catch it well, even weighed down.

@toba thank you! It's over 100F here at the moment so we wouldn't mind some clouds really 🙂
