Fading Comet 2023 A3

Comet 2023 A3 is rapidly fading, comets are almost always transient in being bright so it is fading into the dark as it races to outer the Solar System. The difference between October 22 and 23 2024 is striking. As the comet as moved out capturing a more realistic color is easier, and as this image illustrates identical capture conditions show it fading quickly.
