Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS

Back to work today, but with comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) making an appearance in the northern hemisphere, I did have this plan in the back of my head to capture an image or two of that.

It was not that difficult to spot, but there's only a little time to capture it. The comet "sets" pretty much at the same place as the sun does and it does so not that long after sunset. There's only about half an hour or so when it's dark enough to see it before it sinks behind the horizon.

There are still a few chances this week, so if weather permits I might try to find a location that gives me a better composition, but at least I've captured it!
