Don’t Miss the Comet: C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)

It is finally in the evening skies.  Best viewing (weather permitting) will be from 10/12 through 10/26.  After sunet, look west and above where the sun just set.  It should be awesome in binoculars.  NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN!!!  On 10/12 the comet will be 16 degrees altitude at sunset, and will climb steadily each night.  By 10/26 it will be at 49 degrees altitude at sunset, but it will also be about 2 magnitudes fainter.  Enjoy.
