Torrential rain this evening for me on La Palma so I have spent some time putting together this mosaic of the comet based on images from my ASI2600MC + RedCat 51 taken last night (Oct 14). Each panel is approx. 5×4 deg and the total image is 17.3 x 4.2 kpix:

If you zoom in you will find Comet 13P/Olbers about midway along the bottom of the image, also the globular M5 and quite a few galaxies. 13P looks very puny compared to C/2023 A3.
