Although astronomically rather under-equipped, my former work colleague and dear friend Wolfgang Tubis took pictures of the comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS C/2023 A3 in October 2024. With a second-hand digital camera, out of light-polluted Cologne.
Since he has no web presence of his own - except for a lousy updated and private Instagram account - I took the liberty of immortalizing the pictures on the Internet. I already had a half or unspoken permission before, even a whole one with reference to the still unpublished photos of the moon eclipse 2025. That makes a total of one point five, fits.
Dear Wolfgang, I wish you a happy birthday!
This time I not only thought of it on time, but I even have a gift!
Something new.
But the date is also hard to remember, damn it.
For more photos and information, see Astronomy - Comet C/2023 A3.
Greetings
Ma
