Here is a time lapse of comet 3I/ATLAS recorded with my 8" LX200. The comet is about magnitude 17, right at the limit of what my scope can capture with these 60 second exposures. It's extremely faint, so I also stacked 65 minutes of light aligned on the comet using astrometry. pic.twitter.com/ROT8fdkkcW— Astronomy Live (@astroferg) July 21, 2025

My concern is if a whole swarm of these things is headed for our solar system.

Nice capture! What kind of camera did you use?

We’ll be ready for them- we won’t go quietly into the good night…..
