Imaged C/2021 A10 last night on the recommendation of Nick James
. Got 2 hours of 610 longpass (R+IR) images. Subtracting a typical star image from the comet image leaves a ring of residual light, suggesting a slightly diffuse appearance. Subtracting two stars from each other cancels perfectly.
Residual light is roughly 6 pixels across, or 3.9". Images are south up.
