We captured a new large field-of-view image of comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS under very dark skies conditions. The image above comes from the average combination of 11, 120-second exposures, remotely taken with the Samyang 135+Paramount ME+ZWO...

We present an image of comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS taken with an almost full Moon, using our large field-of-view astrograph. The image above comes from the average combination of 10, 120-second exposures, remotely taken...

With the full Moon now gone, we captured comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS again, while it crosses a rich spot of the sky. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 5, 120-second...

Despite the almost full Moon, we imaged comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS and share here our picture. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 6, 120-second exposures, remotely taken with the ARTEC250+Paramount...

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. The image above comes from the average combination of 6,...

We continue monitoring comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, so here it is a new image showing details of its ion tail. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 6, 120-second exposures, remotely...

We release new images of comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS while it leaves the inner Solar System. The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of 6, 120-second exposures, remotely taken with the ARTEC250+Paramount ME+C3Pro61000EC...

We continue tracking comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS while it is clearly fading. We used all the four telescopes available at our facility, to better exploit this opportunity. The image above comes from the average...

At last, we imaged comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS under good sky conditions, enjoying its features at different image scales and resolutions. Here we present the first two images we released. The image above comes...

Here it is comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS imaged under fair weather conditions, showing details of its ion tail. The image above comes from the sigma clipping combination of 4, 120-second exposures, remotely taken with...

Despite less than ideal sky conditions, we imaged comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS with different telescopes and we share the results here. The image above comes from the average combination of 5, 60-second exposures, remotely...

We imaged comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS during its best visibility and, despite clouds, we captured stunning views at several image scales/resolutions, making justice to its tail and antitail, its brightest parts and the inner...

Here it is comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, now at its full glory. Despite the clouds, the vision was amazing and we are pleased to share a couple of images. The image above comes from...
