Memorable Moment 3 continued: and finally we were greeted with a comet, Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, pretty easily visible just after sunset.

Oh?! A new track appeared! It's about the comet #tsuchinshanatlas that visited us a few days ago, only to swoosh off into space for another 80.000 years.
The thought of the massive scales of space inspired me for this more ethereal #synthwave #electronic track.
Oh, no, that comet again.
This was probably the last opportunity for me to catch the comet. Shot at 430mm with a Tracking telescope. 7 shots with 20 seconds exposure time each. Stacked in Siril.

Niespodzianka!
Kometa C/2023 A3 jest jeszcze do ustrzelenia. ;-) Nawet w mieście. Oczywiście już nie gołym okiem.
Dziś spróbowałem obiektywem 300 mm i…
1) zapomniałem, żeby skrócić czas naświetlania, więc jest rozjechane
2) dodatkowo coś ciężko mi było ustawić ostrość,
ale coś tam widać.
W pewnym momencie z myśliwego (polującego na kometę) stałem się ofiarą (krwiożerczych komarów).
L'astre chevelu est encore au rendez-vous ce soir, bien visible au cœur de la constellation d'Ophiuchus #Tsuchinshan #AstroSmartphone #comete #comet #astronomy #tsuchinshanatlas
Comet #tsuchinshanatlas is still holding on. Not as bright as last week, but the skies are a lot darker now that the moon’s in last quarter.
Comet #TsuchinshanATLAS still naked eye visible under dark skies! Lovely 10 deg long tail too. About mag 4.5.
Quick edit of 150 seconds imaging with the DSLR/Samyang 135mm lens. 12x15 sec, f/2, ISO 3200. Stacked and processed in Affinity Photo. #Astronomy #astrophotography #astrodon
If only Neanderthals had an iPhone 12! They could’ve snapped a pic of comet Tsuchinshan, too! #comet #space #tsuchinshanatlas https://instagr.am/p/DBaMeQppaio/
After several attempts but non-success, last night I drove out to mountains to have dinner with friends, where a brief 15 minute window of opportunity to finally capture it emerged.
Was FINALLY able to get ~2 mins of data, but finally saw C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS).
We had only about 15 mins before the sky was dark enough after sunset to get set up and capture comet photons.
It was brief, but it was beautiful. For the first time, I saw a comet with my eyes through binocs (as opposed to a screen). Venus looked marvellous as well.
Have also included an annotated diagram merging the wide-angle shot taken with the DSLR and the more zoomed-in version captured with Seestar S50.
Comets are trolls but they are neat when you see them!
I was about to give up on this with the clouds. Thankful for that small window of opportunity!
To chyba moje ostatnie zdjęcia C/2023 A3.
Zdjęcia wywoływane w warunkach polowych, LR na tablecie. W domu może ogarnę to inaczej.
1) w prawym, dolnym rogu
2) po lewej stronie, przy gałęzi drzewa.
Caught the comet in the back field in the moonlight
Wszyscy mają kometę! Mam i ja!
Got out to see Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas last night!

Spectacle during the passage of comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas across Berlin's skies: video of the star visible to the naked eye.
The comet was visible from both the northern and southern hemispheres.
