A short but sweet observing session this evening at #LoxhamObservatory ; the moon ,Jupiter with the four Galilean moons and even tried for Uranus but the clouds didn’t cooperate!

A much wider view of Comet C/2023 A3 taken last night shows just how long that dust tail is.

Comet A3 looking great this evening! Trying to get as many different shots of it while it’s still around.. #CometA3 #CometATLAS #texas

#CometA3 is there but really hard to pick out with the naked eye with it dimming and the moon being so bright #shropshire

A glimpse of Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, also known as Comet A3, appearing to pass over our campus this week. According to NASA, this celestial spectacle won’t be visible again for another 80,000 years! ☄️
