C/2019 Y4 (Atlas) had lots of potential to become a naked eye comet during late May. However, as seen before, comets can be very unpredictable. Around mid-March, observations indicated its brightening has slowed, and by early April there was speculation it was breaking up. This was confirmed with a closeup image taken on 11-April-2020, the same day as the one I acquired above.
Although the above image was 1st aligned on the stars and then combined (DSS) with comet aligned images, it coma is diffuse and elongated.

Der Komet Atlas C/2019 Y4 am 26.03.2020 im Sternbild Großer Bär. Die Bildbearbeitung gestaltete sich komplizierter als gedacht, gar nicht einfach den Komet und die Hintergrundsterne auf einen Nenner zu bekommen.

There's a possibility that my photostream should actually be "Libby and Barnabee sit in the garden looking vaguelly lost" rather than "evilibby".
Meh.
If we're all honest, we have to admit that when it's as sunny as it was today, morris dancing on grass should not be attempted. Agreed? Good. On tarmac maybe, but not grass...
Comet C/2019 Y4 ATLAS on the 13th April 2020 in the constellation of Camelopardalis. This was the comet everyone hoped would be a "Great Comet" until it broke apart! - the nucleus had already shattered into at least 4 pieces by this time. The comet was quite dim, so I've "stretched" the image quite a lot but that loses colour in the background stars.

On one of the rare occasions that transformer wagon PB1 was used (and the last time). A special working from Macquarie No. 5 wharf to Maydena to transport a transformer for the Hydro bound for Strathgordon, headed by Y4. Departing Rosetta, emerging from underneath the Main Rd overbridge.
This is three views of comet C/2019 Y4 ATLAS at an estimated magnitude of 7.6 currently. Top left a stack of 300x45seconds taken through my 356mmf/10 SCT with a mono CCD. Lower left a stack of 120x120seconds taken with a colour CMOS camera through my 130mm triplet APO reftractor. On the right, I've reimposed the stack of the comet on a stack of the background stars as it passed a nice contrast in SAO 14211, the magnitude 5.6 star in the constellation of Camelopardalis.
Despite a bright Moon reducing visibility signs of the comet's straight Ion tail are visible in the images.

This pair of NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope images of comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS), taken on April 20 and April 23, 2020, reveal the breakup of the solid nucleus of the comet. Hubble photos identify as many as 30 separate fragments. The comet was approximately 146 million kilometres from Earth when the images were taken. The comet may be a broken off piece of a larger comet that swung by the Sun 5,000 years ago.
The comet has been artificially colored in this view to enhance details for analysis.
In a new study using Hubble’s observations, astronomer Quanzhi Ye of the University of Maryland in College Park, reports that ATLAS is a broken-off piece of that ancient visitor from 5,000 years ago. This is because ATLAS follows the same orbital "railroad track" as that of a comet seen in 1844. This means the two comets are probably siblings from a parent comet that broke apart many centuries earlier. The link between the two comets was first noted by amateur astronomer Maik Meyer.
