Finally seen my first comet: Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS), approx 90 minutes before dawn. Couldn't see it with naked eye but binoculars were great.

A long bright streak above a dark hilly horizon.

@Miraz Oo, lucky you. Way back when, and I'm not saying Im that old, but a bunch of us stayed up to see Halley's Comet come through. I felt really chuffed about seeing that one.

@alexink I've missed all previous comet opportunities, for various reasons, some dumb! So glad to see this one. 😁
