Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-Atlas)

Yesterday evening my first attempt to capture the comet  C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-Atlas) failed.
I was too early, the sky was too bright and on top of that, there were too much clouds.

Tonight, at my second attempt, I did capture the comet.
But I must confess I was a bit dissapointed again.
Because it was rather high in the sky, it looked very very small. Without the camera I could hardly see it. I've seen other photos with huge comets and windmills in the foreground that looked perfect. And here I am with my tiny tiny comet. Haha.

Again clouds spoiled a lot and my position and composition were not my best. On forehand I only focussed on a wide view towards the South-Southwest and didn't think much about any point of interest in the foreground.

So, not my best photo but at least I saw the comet and captured it.
In a while it will be out of sight for the next 80.000 years, so I'll probably bee seeing it from the other side the next time.
