Comet 3I/ATLAS
Photo description / processing
Congratulations to everyone on the arrival of 2026! It was quite interesting to capture and process this image, as it was our first and last encounter with this comet.
I spent a very long time processing it, since this is my first serious experience working with comets. There were many nuances I wasn't aware of, but I've managed to get something now. The result is most likely not final—I processed it on a very poor laptop monitor, which may have led to issues with brightness and other aspects.
