Details:
I tried to look for the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet now visible in the twilight with 20x80 binoculars from Rome.
I started shortly after sunset, when the comet was about 7 ° above the horizon. But I managed to spot it only when it was about 4 ° high: its nucleus appeared yellow ochre and a hint of a coma could be perceived.
Unfortunately the haze and the twilight lights hid much of its brightness. And before it disappeared due to the haze I managed to take some shots like this.
