Hi Rob,
Great photo but incorrectly named.
This is comet C2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan ATLAS) not comet ATLAS.
The ATLAS observatory is an automated system, Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System. It discovers a lot of comets as a by product of its main mission.
There are currently 13 comets in the sky all bearing the name comet ATLAS alone plus a 14th dual name object (Tsuchinshan ATLAS) that you have imaged.
While we may currently know which comet you are incorrectly referencing now, this post will remain in archive for a long time. You should learn to correctly designate them using the year and discovery order C/2023 A3. You can optionally add the name (Tsuchinshan ATLAS) not ATLAS.
