Comet C2024 G3 ATLAS

Here is my attempt at Comet C2024 G3 ATLAS last night 18th jan. It took a while to locate it with the naked eye, it is a long way from the Earth so fairly small but visible to the naked eye. The low cloud and smoke haze didn't help. I used a 600mm f5 telescope and a full frame 6d canon camera. A bit lower magnification would be better 200mm fl seems to be the sweet spot. One full frame and a cropped image taken before it dropped into the orange haze.
