Comet Imaging Session - October 26, 2024

The sky this early evening is partly cloudy with lots of passing clouds . Polaris and many bright stars are also not visible so I had to forgo any deep sky imaging that evening. But I did saw some small cloud openings in the western horizon so I try to image Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-Atlas and was able to capture it despite lots of persistent clouds! I also notice the comet is dimming as well, my guess maybe around magnitude 5 and this will continue slowly dim even more in the days to come. Consolation is that the tail is still quite long and I can faintly see it on my 400mm focal length scope field of view. Image is not that great so I just make a simple stack on the comet head and call it a day. The comet is also setting between the tall builing on my west as well as its tall crane so I just had to crop the image to remove the blurry building edge and crane out of the image! :( Oh well, better than nothing at all!
