What size is the core of comet A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS i haven't seen any information.

There's a lot of 12P Pons-Brooks pictures in the widefield Special Events section 😉

From the UK it's not possible to see Pons-Brooks anymore. The comet is now visible in the southern hemisphere. There might be another comet visible from the UK in October. https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/advice/comet-c-2023-a3-tsuchinshan-atlas

So far I can remember Comet Wirtanen as just naked eye visible. Neowise was clearly visible by eye, and I could just about see 12P Pons- Brooks at the end of March. Comets are fascinating and scary too.

Hale-Bopp C/1995 O1 during 1997 was amazing , was lucky to be around for that one. Before Hale-Bopp I hadn't seen a Comet. I can't remember Comet West in 1976, i may of seen it by chance...

Have you two weather stations?

Another slight show from the Aurora, it was very active earlier before dark, ok for the Southern hemisphere. Dodgy phone pic

Just noticed 13P Olbers on stellarium while checking the altitude or 12P Pons-Brooks. Then checked SGL for any info. Prolly too feint for untracked DSLR shots.

Cloud and drizzle over the UK Would of loved to get a photo of those three.

Sinking into the murk yesterday evening April 9th. Probably the last chance to photograph it. The crescent moon will be in conjunction with the comet tonight, the weather forecast is not good though hereabouts.

Mostly clear skies yesterday evening. The Comet is harder to photograph now as it sinks lower at dusk.

Saturday April 6th A gap in the cirrus for 5 mins allowed a couple of shots this evening. It wasn't really dark enough, but the clouds thickened up again before dark. Thin clouds and a bit of editing on the phone has bloated Jupiter. zoom at 120mm APSC

A brief clear gap Wednesday 3rd from the backyard with phone Seems to be having another outburst again. https://earthsky.org/tonight/12-p-comet-pons-brooks-outburst-millennium-falcon-bright-2024-eclipse/ https://www.spaceweather.com/ (April 4th Archive)
