On 10/11/2024 07:20 pm by David Chapman| Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada
I observed 2023 A3 from Dartmouth , Nova Scotia, Canada on the evening of 2024 October 11 at 19:20 Atlantic Daylight Time (UT–3) in Canon 12x36 Image Stabilized binoculars. It was detected 45 minutes after sunset in binoculars and was tracked until setting at 19:45. It was never detected naked eye. It was dimmer than Venus and had a noticeable coma, but no tail was seen. The (cropped) photo was taken with an iPhone 15.
