Comet ATLAS is still heading toward the Sun for a perihelion inside Mercury’s orbit on the 31st of May. It is currently above the plane of the solar system a little less than half way between the orbit’s of Mars and the Earth. It is now visible in the northern constellation Camelopardalis (the giraffe).

The image is a stack of twenty-eight 30 second exposures registered to the comet. The tail appears to be a little more defined and the outer coma fills nearly all the FOV.
