Last week South Next week

Best time and the azimuth, altitude (A,h) are at lat. 35 deg in the Northern Hemisphere. Azimuth indicates 0 for south, 90 for west, 180 for north, 270 for east.

C/2023 A3 ( Tsuchinshan-ATLAS ) It brightened up to -3 mag due to the forward scattering on Oct. 9 in the SOHO coronagraph images (Q.-c. Zhang, Charles S. Morris). It became a great comet of 0 mag on the ground. Now it is 8.9 mag (Nov. 28, Virgilio Gonano). Fading rapidly. In the Northern Hemisphere, it will be unobservable in January. But it will be observable again in January. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is not observable now, but it will appear in March. Date(TT) R.A. (2000) Decl.

It brightens up to -1 mag, but it will turn to fade out rapidly after that. In the Northern Hemisphere, it will never be observable after this. In the Southern Hemisphere, it will be unobservable in December. Date(TT) R.A. (2000) Decl.
