Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS: new images – 5 Nov. 2024
Exploiting the now very good weather, we captured a couple of views of comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, before the Moon will become an issue.
C/2023 A3 Tsichinshan-ATLAS: 5 Nov. 2024.
The image above comes from the average combination of 6, 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 field of view is about 18 deg. x 11 deg., the image scale is 12”/pixel. An aircraft trail is also visible.
The comet is now prospectically crossing the dense region of the Summer Milky Way, so the background is full of stars and dust.
We also captured images with our ARTEC250+Paramount ME+C3Pro61000EC robotic astrograph, to the better investigate the inner regions. The image below comes from the sigma clipping combination of 6, 120-second exposures.
C/2023 A3 Tsichinshan-ATLAS, brightest region: 5 Nov. 2024.
We will continue monitoring this comet as long as possible.
