Details:
This comet is going to be fun. C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) tonight from north of Flagstaff, Arizona. There is some really interesting structure trying to hide in the twilight. A soft, subtle antitail is pointing into the horizon with synchrones fanning to the right of the main dust tail, and a very thin central shadow.
It was visible naked eye with the tail visible out to about 3 degrees.
