Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) Timelapse at Rockburn Branch Park

We were in eastern Howard County, Maryland tonight and ended up going to Rockburn Branch Park to see the comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS). This ended up being a pretty good location as we found an area that was clear of trees and artificial light. Although we still could not see it with the naked eye, we were once again easily able to photograph it.

Since our attempt to view the comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) this past weekend wasn’t exactly successful, we tried to view it locally tonight. This time, we had better luck!

C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) at Shenandoah National Park

We visited Shenandoah National Park this evening to try and see a comet, C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS). The weather forecast was favorable and things looked good on our way in with clear skies. Unfortunately, it was quite hazy and some clouds rolled in to the west before sunset and our viewing turned out to be only partially successful.
