Atlas A3 - Campos de Cima da Serra Final

"On the Comet's Path"

 

October, 16th; 7:34pm Local Time.

 

Continuing with the records of Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS), I went to Campos de Cima da Serra, in Tainhas-RS to obtain a perfect spot to capture the Comet, now in the West after Sunset.

 

The spot couldn't be better: a Bortle 2.

 

Being in a Bortle 2, I had to cross my fingers for the weather to cooperate, some clouds beforehand made me apprehensive, but as soon as the sun went away, the A3 ATLAS started the show, making it possible to capture it even on a Smartphone and view it with the naked eye.

 

This time he gave a Bonus: the apparent Anti-Tail.

As planet Earth approaches the plane of the Comet's orbit, dust forms the anti-tail along its orbit as it leaves the inner Solar System behind.
