Comet ATLAS C/2020 M3

So OK, Comet ATLAS was not much compared to NEOWISE, but any comet that can be seen with binoculars and images with a telephoto lens is a good comet. For a while I kept an up to date spreadsheet of the comets I have seen, but after transferring files over the years to newer and newer computers I think I have lost track of some of them. I should be around 60 or 70 now, but of course only 5 have been what might be called a "great" comet due to their easily seen appearance in the sky.
