Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS)

November 6th, 2024 No comments

Previously, I was either busy or there were clouds. And this time, the sky turned out to be clear and in the evening I ran to Neapolis Scythian site (in Simferopol’, Cimea, Russia) to finally see the advertised comet. I waited until it was dark, but the sky turned out to be quite bright and therefore I did not see the comet with the naked eye. But I took a few shots with my iPhone in the right direction, on which I later found the comet at the place where it should be! 2024.10.23 19:00. Shot on iPhone 12 Pro, presented here in Display P3 (for the sake of the sunset).
