Today, I captured what will likely be my last photo of comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan/ATLAS for a while, as it quickly fades into the brightness of the morning sky while nearing the Sun. If all goes as expected, it should become visible again after the first half of October, this time at sunset, though comets can be quite unpredictable.
This time, I decided to include myself in the photo. After all, when you get the chance to be alongside a special visitor like this comet, you can't resist capturing the moment. Just like people take pictures with celebrities to say "I was there with them," I wanted to commemorate my encounter with this incredible cosmic traveler.
It may be a simple gesture, but sharing the frame with a comet made me feel part of something much bigger, fleeting, and magnificent at the same time.
I took the photo at 5:35 in the morning using a Canon EOS R7 camera and a Sigma Art 105mm f/1.4 lens.
