Details:
Another day another photo of Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) from Queensland, Nova Scotia this morning. This comet only rises above the horizon at our latitude after morning twilight has begun making it difficult photograph, you will not see it with the naked eye. The comet is very close to the sun and rises only about an hour before the sun. If you live in more Southerly latitudes you are lucky since the comet rises in a darker sky. In a couple weeks the comet should be visible low in the western sky shortly after sunset and there will be a full moon to contend with. The best views may be in late October under a dark moonless sky but by that time binoculars may be needed to spot it since it will have dimmed as it moves further away from the earth and sun. I am not as optimistic as all the media hype about this comet.
