We captured a new large field-of-view image of comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS under very dark skies conditions.
C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS: 19 Nov. 2024.
The image above comes from the average combination of 11, 120-second exposures, remotely taken with the Samyang 135+Paramount ME+ZWO ASI 6200MC Pro robotic unit available as part of the Virtual Telescope Project facility in Manciano, Italy, under the darkest skies of the Italian peninsula. The telescope tracked at the motion rates of the comet.
The field of view is about 18 deg. x 11 deg., the image scale is 12”/pixel.
Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is crossing such a stunning spot of the sky, in the Milky Way, with such a mind-blowing star density and dusty clouds..
We will continue monitoring this comet as long as possible.
