We got to see the comet at Bluff Creek Park tonight.

Great shot @Andy_Fryhover! We saw it at Bluff Creek this evening but it was pretty dim and couldn’t see much of a tail. But at least I finally saw it again!

I think I’m heading out to Windsurfer point this evening around 7:30.

Just taking my phone and a tripod.

Observed the comet tonight, 10/14. Wish my eyepiece had been clean Arrrg!

Observed the comet again last night. It has faded a couple magnitudes to ~3.5 but still was quite good.

A closeup of C/2023 A3 from my SeeStar S50 taken last evening, showing, I’m assuming, an anti-tail, and a meteor crossing its path during one of the 20-second exposures. Total integration time was 3:40.

The comet has faded to 4.3magnitude but is still a very good target. It is high enough now I can see it above the trees from my house.

Very nice images.

I could shoot it from my backyard in Yukon last night, too. It was up high enough, and the moon hadn’t risen yet. I got 35, 30-second subs tracking the comet’s core and 35, 10-second subs tracking the stars at 200mm focal length and F4. I’ll try to process it later today, but I have to leave for work now.
