Comet Atlas C/ 2020 M3 swings past M42 and M43 Orion Nebula (bottom) and The Horsehead Nebula Region,
Zeta Orionis, Alnitak (upper left corner).
The Green Comet shining at magnitude 7.9 was approaching the 3rd magnitude star 28-Eta Orionis on 11-08-2020.
Despite the Strong Moonlight, I managed to captured this view of the Trio with a Canon 6D and a Sigma 150-600mm lens, set to 250mm,
at F6.3, ISO 800, 20 minutes exp., piggyback on a Bisque ME Mount at my observatories at JBSPO in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
