Over the last week I've been going out every couple of nights and shooting C/2024 G3 Atlas as it slowly disintegrates after the front fell off.
Here are a couple more of my Dwarf3 shots, along with one from my phone. One is very heavily processed to bring out the side-tails.
20-50 frames of 15s at 80.
Went comet chasing last night, got some great technically good shots. And this one. Which I love.
Taken when the comet was less than one degree above the horizon, as it dived into the sea.
A little cloud just rounds things out.

El cometa C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) visto desde Las Grutas, Argentina, por Denis Martínez. Nikon D90, 10", f/4.0, ISO 640. https://spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=219716
Pasó por perihelio hace diez días, muy cerca del Sol: a solo 0.093 UA (la Tierra está a 1 UA). Llegó a ser visible durante el día, con prismáticos, con magnitud -3.5. Parecía que había sobrevivido pero finalmente el núcleo se ha deshecho: lo que queda es un cometa zombi. La espectacular cola es observable desde el Hemisferio Sur.
From a dark site with a flat horizon and a proper camera, comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) is a stunner at the moment!
Easily visible with the naked eye, with the tail visually extending for about 10 degrees.
With a 30 second exposure at 70 mm f/8, the tail is maginficent! This is just a single snap. Yes, there are also *fifteen* starlinks in this single photo. A new record for me
Quite a bit of detail in that #comet image I took a few rights ago I was able to extract with Siril. #CometC2024G3 #C2024G3 #Astrophotography
Toda la semana intentando verlo… hasta que ayer a eso de las 22, pese a la nubosidad costera apareció #Lipimavida #C2024G3
And here is the proper camera result of C/2024 G3 (Atlas). Not stunning, given it's from the center of a city of 1.2 million people, but also not terrible. It was not too hard to spot the #comet by eye to aim the camera.
Single 10 second shot at 200mm f/8 ISO 100.
Earlier this week, Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) made its closest approach to the Sun.
While doing so, it made a dramatic appearance sweeping through the wide-field LASCO C3 coronagraph of the ESA/NASA SOHO mission over a few days.
Here’s my take, a triplet of Deep Red, Orange, & Blue filter images taken over an hour around 09:00UTC on 14 January, as an RGB composite.
Here is an outstanding pic of comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) taken by astronomer and nightscape photographer Yuri Beletsky in the southern hemisphere from the ESO observatory in Paranal in the Atacama desert in Chile.

Last night we went down to Scarborough Beach, and hunted for C/2024 G3 Atlas - the current brightest comet.
It was still to close to the sun to see in the glare, but a bit after sunset my Dwarf3 had just enough dark to calibrate, and picked it up just 1 degree above the horizon!
The telescope had just enough time to snap 10 frames and stack them.
What a beauty! This is comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) passing through the field of view of the LASCO C3 coronagraph.
It wasn't for certain whether it would survive it's closest approach to the sun on January 13th, but it did and delivered us a spectacular show!
#astronomy just seen the #comet #C2024G3 from France with binoculars 11x70. It's only 6° from the sun but with magnitude -3 you can see it few minutes just after sunset. It reminds me my first shot of comet #C2006P1 MacNaught 18 years ago :
@KrajciTom Addition of only eight frames (... long story .... ) Still not a beauty, but definetely the comet in broad daylight, ~ 12:15h UT in #Aachen :-D #astronomy #c2024g3 #comet
