About this image

Another view of comet C-2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS. It was still easy to find and see using binoculars. I could also just about see it naked eye, with a hint of the tail visible, especially when using averted vision. If anything it seemed slightly easier to see, probably due to the lack of moonlight at this time in the evening.
