Something completely different for today's blog - actually another comet is visible in the northern hemisphere and the pictures from the southern hemisphere where fabulous.
Visible in the evening, but most days with the clouds not visible these days.
But yesterday it looked good:
Information of the Wikipedia:
Comet (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS), also known as the Great Comet of 2024 and formally designated as C/2023 A3, is a comet from the Oort cloud discovered by the Purple Mountain Observatory in China on 9 January 2023 and independently found by ATLAS South Africa on 22 February 2023. The comet passed perihelion at a distance of 0.39 AU (58 million km; 36 million mi) on 27 September 2024, when it became visible to the naked eye. Tsuchinshan–ATLAS peaked its brightest magnitude on 9 October, shortly after passing the Sun, with a magnitude of −4.9 per reported observations at the Comet Observation Database (COBS)
UPDATE October 18th, 2024
Finally - my best pictures so far from yesterday evening
