Title

C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) tonight, 28 January 2025. Visible naked-eye for 10 degrees despite continued fading. However I couldn't follow it down to the horizon because of hills so the sky was still fairly light. Lovely in 8 x 42 binoculars! First image has details, second image was 10:47, 28 Jan 2025 UT; Canon 800D, 50mm lens, 8 x 3.2 sec, ISO 6400, F/3.5, uncropped (sky & foreground stacked separately and merged) - imaged from the Bright Memorial Arboretum, Bright, NE Vic, Australia
