A great comet
A comet you can observe easily with unaided eye while having cirrus, twilight and moonlight or even from downtown, a comet which has a tail extending more than 25 deg. and an antitail extending beyond the west horizon and rising over the sunrise hemisphere, a comet that has been photographed at daylight (even with difficulty) and reached a maximum apparent magnitude of -5, deserves to be remembered as one of the “great comets”. This is comet Tsuchinshan - ATLAS. I’ve seen and admired many magnificent photos from people all around the planet so, I will only post two here. This is the first one. The landscape is around the Gulf of Corinth near Athens, taken with a 35 mm lens (f/1.4, 5’’, iso 500) and the prominent moonlight trims a lot from the top of the comet’s tail. I can only imagine how it would be to photograph this on a moonless sky. Taken on 15.10.2024, from W.Attica, Greece.
