Comet C/2023 A3 through the clouds
==================================
Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is a long-period comet discovered by the ATLAS survey on January 9, 2023. The comet is currently visible in the evening sky in the northern hemisphere and due to it’s brightness (reached magnitude -4), it’s visible to the naked eye on a dark sky and well visible using binoculars or small telescopes.
While in my image, the dust tail is visible through the clouds, it recently also developed an anti-tail, a long and thin line pointing towards the sun. This rare phenomenon is caused by cometary dust particles accumulating in the comet’s orbital plane.
Lens: Yongnuo 50mm 1.8 @ f/3.2
Camera: Canon EOS 6Da
Integration time: 5min
