This image captures comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS from the top of the breakwater at the Gallatin Marina at Eagle Lake in Lassen County California. I shot the image during “nautical twilight” on October 14, 2024, as about an 85% moon illumined the entire scene. I’ve lauched my fishing boat at that dock many times in pursuit of the beautiful rainbow trout the lake is famous for. The boat moored in this image is the Lassen County Sherriff Department’s patrol vessel. This frame was captured just a hair over 50 millimeters in focal length on a 35mm “full frame” digital camera so the field of view is not very far removed from the amount of the comet I could see with my naked eye (although the camera can gather light over time – 8 seconds in this case- so the comet is brighter in the photo than my eye picked up). This one developed a crazy long tail, probably covering over 15 degrees across the evening sky.
