About this image

My view of comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) was slightly better this evening, as it was a bit higher and the Moon was not as high as with previous nights. Visually it seemed a little easier to see than a couple of days ago, probably due to the darker sky. Using my telescope, I estimated it to be around magnitude 5.
