‘I met a traveller from an antique land…’

This is #3I/Atlas imaged just a few mins ago in the pre dawn sky here in Oxfordshire UK. With my #Seestar50

It’s quite bright! Showed up immediately on the screen.

I’ve only gone and captured an interstellar comet! @&*!@#£!!!

Trying out the new Siril script for Seestar mosaics. Not much data (only two rather short nights 🤷‍♂️) so rather noisy, but enough to get a decent grasp of what it can do…

After several attempts but non-success, last night I drove out to mountains to have dinner with friends, where a brief 15 minute window of opportunity to finally capture it emerged.

Was FINALLY able to get ~2 mins of data, but finally saw C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS).

We had only about 15 mins before the sky was dark enough after sunset to get set up and capture comet photons.

It was brief, but it was beautiful. For the first time, I saw a comet with my eyes through binocs (as opposed to a screen). Venus looked marvellous as well.

Have also included an annotated diagram merging the wide-angle shot taken with the DSLR and the more zoomed-in version captured with Seestar S50.

Comets are trolls but they are neat when you see them! 😍

I was about to give up on this with the clouds. Thankful for that small window of opportunity!
