Comet 2023 A3 on October 2nd with a 20 deg tail
Comet 2023 A3
Capture Time: - 20241001.77 UT
I had low cloud and smoke on the horizon this morning causing higher extinction than usual. The comet has begun its dive back into twilight. Between smoke and twilight, I could only just barely see the comet by naked eye.
No visual magnitude estimate attempted due to the uneven smoke layers.
The photo below is taken with a Pentax K01 (a mirrorless K5) and a 50mm f1.7 lens at f2.8.
