I originally intended to image for only 30 or so minutes last night, performing tests on equipment, as most of the forecasts said rain or clouds.  But astrospheric nailed the forecast, and it cleared at 10:00, so after my tests, I nudged the scope over a little, and quickly captured this newly discovered  comet.

Note, I deliberately did not center the comet, as I wanted Kappa Draconis and 6 Draconis (magnitude 3.85 and 4.95 respectively) to still be in the final image.

Object info (from Comet Chasing Skyhound):
C/2023 E1 (ATLAS) was discovered by the ATLAS survey on March 1. Later that month, on March 23, Norbert Mrozek reported that the comet was significantly brighter than initially anticipated. Towards the end of April, its brightness appeared to increase again, potentially by up to three magnitudes. However, these measurements show a large degree of variability, which may be due to the inclusion of varying amounts of the faint outer diameter of the comet. The comet is set to reach its perihelion, or closest point to the sun, in early July. It will also approach relatively close to earth, at a distance of 0.4 Astronomical Units (AU), on July 1. Current predictions estimate that the comet will achieve its maximum brightness, with a magnitude of 11.3, in early August, although it could potentially become even brighter.
