This is the latest and probably my last capture of Comet C/2023 A3, taken 10/22 during astronomical twilight. It's slowly but surely slipping out of our solar system, making it more and more difficult to locate. I could only see it in the periphery of my binoculars and then it became a real challenge finding it again through my 200mm lens! Thankful for the crystal clear sky and this last hurrah at capturing this VERY popular comet.

Canon 5d, Canon 70-200mm, taken at 200mm
Comet - 12 x f2.8 1.6" iso 12800
FG - 10 x f2.8 1.6" iso 3200
