During last weekend's clampout in the Arizona desert, I tried to see the C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) comet.
Unfortunately, there was a bright moon so I had no such luck. Last night, it was cloudy out so I could not see it. I'll try again tonight.
The only comet I had been able to see, and photograph, was Hale-Bopp. It was bright enough to see without any effort even from downtown Los Angeles and from the Silverlake Reservoir.
Below is one of my Hale-Bopp photographs taken near Agua Dulce in 1997:
Here's where the Tsuchinshan–ATLAS comet will be:
