Description

Here is a look at C/2023 A3 comet from last night. I drove to Little Creek Dam in Toano, VA to take this conjunction between the comet and Milky Way. Only 10 frames were stacked as we had clouds forming a little over the horizon. Although the comet is much dimmer now, it is still appears really nice and available for binoculars or telescopes.
