I imaged C/2023 A3 again this morning (2024 Sep 23 UT) from New Zealand with an 18cm f2.8 Takahashi Epsilon Newtonian and Canon 550D. FoV = 4.1° x 2.7°. The tail extends for nearly 2° in a PA of ~251. The uncropped image is attached. Twilight was well advanced and the comet had just cleared the trees (~8-degrees altitude). |
