Below: a time lapse animation of showing the movement of 3I/ATLAS (against the background stars of the constellation Leo) on 28 December 2025.
The comet looks rather faint here as the time lapse (including numerous satellite trails) is made from individual sub-exposures; the still images above show the result of stacking subs with the resultant improvement in image quality.
