Hi All,

A couple of images of comet 2023a3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS last Monday. The comet was easily naked eye despite the bright Moon and very impressive in 20x80 binoculars.

This one is a 2-second exposure at 1600ASA using a modified Canon Digital Rebel on my 5" f/5 refractor.

Cheers

Maurice

This one is a 2-second exposure at 2000ASA using a modified Canon D60 and a Nikon 100mm f/2.8 lens. Was really happy to get the anti-tail.

This one is also a 2-second exposure at 2000ASA using a modified Canon D60, but this time with a Canon 18-55mm zoom lens at 35mm.

Beautiful image Michael.

It is still a good sight in the telescope. This one is a combination of 10 minutes in Red, Green and Blue filters, using 1-minute subs.

ST8XE and 5" f/5 refractor.
