Comet C/2023 A3, captured at 2000m in the Teide massif in Tenerife on the 11th. October 2024 at 20:24h
Hundreds of interested people drove up to the Teide massif to catch the comet. Tripods, cameras and extremely good mood everywhere. How did they not see anything from the comet on the small displays of the cameras. Focused on Venus and hoping the orientation is correct on the setting sun (3.4 degrees west). And now, on the big monitors at home: the surprise despite these clouds near the horizon. The window of visibility was 5 min.
