Science Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas

Anyone besides me out looking at this comet? Tonight and tomorrow night are supposed to be the best 2 nights to view it.

I had to fight with some city light pollution to my west so the photos didn't come out worth a crap. I'm going to a different location tomorrow night.

I saw it when it was in the east and the last few nights. Best view was tonight.

Timing is important. Here we can only see it with the naked eye for about 30 minutes about 45 minutes after sundown.

This is true. I wish I had better equipment so I could take photos like these.

I've been trying to see it for about a week now. Not working out for me.

Probably not viewable yet tonight in AZ. I start looking 45 minutes after sunset. You need a clear view with not much ground light. You might want to download the free Stellarium app from the play store.

It’s pretty cool, but it’s no Hale-Bopp.

Yeah, I was a 20 year old stoner college student when Hale-Bopp visited. My friend group would go out nightly to “commune” with it.
