Description:
Comet 3I/ATLAS continues to slowly get fainter as it now moves away from the Sun and Earth, on the morning of November 28 the comet was magnitude 10.5 with a coma 4' wide. In the black and white image at the lower left the tail complex appeared to be a wide band of rays (above the coma in this image) about 7' long centered at a PA of 298 degrees, looking much like part of a very bright star twinkling caught in an image.
