Details:
Comet 13P/Olbers on the evening of 2024 November 10 UT was magnitude G=10.1 as calculated from 10x20 second images taken thru no filter in an aperture diameter of 3'. This is still an impressive comet when one considers that these images were taken at an altitude around 2 degrees with lots of haze at that altitude in a fading evening twilight moonlit sky with a 50mm refractor and yet one can still see a 3' coma + very short fan tail at PA 50 degrees in this FOV of 1x1.2 degrees.
