Comet C/2020 M3 (ATLAS) imaged on December 9th, 2020, while passing close to emission nebula IC 410, also called the Tadpole Nebula because of its plumes of gas and dust that resemble these cute batracians (in the upper left of the image). The comet has a very faint green coma which envelops a short tail of dust.
