Re: [BAA Comets] C/2023 A3 in a brief clear spell tonight

Peter,
Thanks. The 2600MM is a good camera for comet work. I'm sure you'll
enjoy using it. C/2023 A3 is still an impressive object but fading quite
quickly now. I'd like to restart the programme to monitor it in a 9
arcsec aperture as it moves outwards.
I imaged 29P this morning although there was still a lot of high cloud
around here. It was very close to a bright star but the asymmetric,
expanding coma was obvious.
Nick.
