If you can't tell, a lot of planet Earth is hoping to see an exceptional comet soon as C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan/ATLAS becomes visible first in the morning skies and then our evening skies beginning the second week of October. Former WAS president Dan Wright spoke to the CT Post this weekend and we're hoping the New England clouds part soon so we can start seeing it too!

So this morning we got up a while before dawn to see if C/2023 A3 Tsushinchan/ATLAS was going to play ball at last. Things were a bit dicey because of smoke from many, many prescribed burns going on, but we had a go anyway.
And we were rewarded! The comet is increasing in brightness (now at +5.1, a full magnitude brighter than at the start of last week), and moving away from the rising sun just enough to get in a set of 50 subframes before the sky gets too bright.
(This is all Southern Hemisphere-centric.) Because of the combined movements of the Earth and the comet, it will appear to move back towards the sun from our perspective after Wednesday, and then reappear in the evening towards the start of October. During this time it is expected to continue to brighten, possibly even becoming daylight visible, with peak visibility expected around October 14.
