C/2023 A3 is quite gettable now if you've got clear skies and flat horizons. Terry Lovejoy recovered it on the morning of the 12th (11th UT). I've imaged it yesterday and today from Hay NSW (14 & 15 Sept). I've attached a couple of images including a full-frame at 200mm. Note that the dates on the images are UT, not local time. I tried visually through binoculars this morning but the sky was too bright and I couldn't see the comet or any nearby stars. Also note that the Moon will start interfering soon.

Cheers -
