Details:
Despite the comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS is on its route away from Earth, its tail is still remarkably long. Yesterday, 18 October 2024, I took this shot from Záhradné, Slovakia, as the comet moved over Lysa Straz hill with its Autumn colors illuminated by the rising Moon. I was surprised by how long the tail was even to the naked eyes during the moonlight. Also, in photographs, the blue tint of its ion part can be visible. So, in the next few days, when the Moon stops interfering with is light after dusk, we will probably still have truly nice views of the comet. Used Canon Ra, Sigma 50mm, f2.8, ISO1600, 6s exposure; inner part of the comet taken with Tamron 70-200@200mm, f2.8, ISO1600, 43x10s from Vixen Polarie U.
