Comet 2023 A3 in fading light

On October 10 2024 the comet was a tough spot especially given the poor dusty air quality in Tucson AZ yielding vivid red Sunsets. This image was captured with a Nikon Z8 and a FX 180 mm ED Nikon lens. This is a lens that was made more than 25 years ago, and has been an oldie but goodie for astrophotography. After seeing it at Sunrise on Easter Island I was very pleased to capture it on the other side of the Sun.
