Comet C2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS

[Andy Elliott]

This is my first and probably only attempt at imaging this comet through my usual astro gear (Esprit 100 + ASI2600MC).
A 2-panel mosaic comprised of 30x30s exposures for each, taken on 25 October 2024. The orange star in the centre towards the bottom is Sigma Ophiuchi.
I was quite pleased that I managed to pull out some detail in the tail.

That's great Andy! I really like your detail in the head of it.

I finally captured it tonight on my regular Astro rig. I hope there is still some detail. I did capture the front half of ti with the Seestar, and also with my Nikon Z8.

Looking forward to seeing what you get.
