At last the clouds clear for a while . Unfortunately comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS has faded somewhat , now about mag 5+
Anyone else managed to image it?
In this image from a series of about 50 frames are what I think are two Starlinks passing by.
50mm 13 secs F5.6

Interesting - I did read about the event but forgot to take a look
Is it still visible at night ?

Very faint now , Mag 5-6 . Best time seems to be from 1930 local in the SW sky about 20 degrees above the horizon and slowly descending

If it helps locate the comet I have stacked a few frames and added star names...
