Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) September 29, 2024 - Southern California.
Today is my last morning to view the comet and I will await to see daylight and evening events in October where this comet should be spectacular. Already though I am very impressed by how the camera picks up the comet. This is my best photo yet of a landscape and the comet directly from my backyard of all places. The comet this morning looked good and with a slight curve to its tail with a more narrower coma than the previous two days. It was not easily seen with the naked eye but it was enough. The photo shows a lot of twilight which it was much darker with my eyes but the camera picks up a ton of that twilight but I thought it looked really cool. It is taken with a 135mm ISO is around 3200 I think and its a single exposure. This comet was incredibly low. As soon as I started seeing twilight with my own eyes the comet started to wash out of the sky rather quickly. This comet provides only 10 minutes of joy so you gotta be quick! I think this was taken around 540am local time. Enjoy and i'll see everyone in October!
