Hi @sramnk, it is a really a cool picture of C2023/A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) you got there. I got a chance to picture the comet today, Sony A6600, F4, ISO 300, 5" Shutter.

Hi! At what time were you able to spot this?

Around 5:10 am to 5:30 am if you are viewing from the city. If nearer to the shore, we can spot it early.

Thank you! Hoping to see it tomorrow. Clouds are not in favor

You won’t be able to see it in the mornings anymore. You need to see it after sunset from now on.

Is it possible to view from areas like siruseri. I don’t have telescope

@Gururag_Kalanidhi, @Jaiyson, and I spotted the comet from Chennai today! I couldn’t spot it yesterday but it was high enough to be visible to the naked eyes today. Should be very clear tomorrow, if the weather permits.

My first encounter with the comet was on September 28th, when I was waiting to watch the sun rise at the Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia. Didn’t really expect to see the comet as it was supposed to be too low in the sky.

Even the tail was clearly visible to the naked eyes.
