Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS C-2023 a3 at Martinez Lake, Arizona

On 10/15/2024 07:40 pm by Betsy Burke| Martinez Lake, AZ

Went out to Martinez Lake in Arizona last night to see it and the lake was nice and still like a mirror. Also thankful that the mosquito repellent worked and the locals also thought it was neat. The comet had a longer tail than it did last night and it is about as long as Hyakutake's was at about 35 degrees.

Gear used tripod + 3 second delay to avoid camera shake + SONY RX100 VII.

Despite moonlight and light pollution, it was so bright that it was easily photographed at ISO 1600, f / 4 @ 10 sec., 45mm focal length.
