C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS)

We played dodge the trees at our “dark” spot but we saw it. We will continue to try for the upgrade.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/C/2023_A3_(Tsuchinshan–ATLAS)

Two of my favorites (okay, I have many) - but these are a treat to spot - Lunar X and Lunar V.

Per Wikipedia:
“The X is visible only for a few hours before the first quarter, slightly below the lunar terminator. Near to the X, the Lunar V is also visible, formed by Ukert crater and several other small craters.”
