Comet C/2024 G3 ATLAS

Photos by Th.Boeckel

 

Observation January 15/2025

17.12 CET:

Several attempts in South Germany to see the comet with the naked eye failed completely. Here are the poor photo result of its appearance.

The comet during sunset. This photo has a high documentary value as it proves that Comet C/2024 G3 Atlas was indeed a daylight comet since Comet Mc Naught in 2007.

    

The comet taken with a 200mm telelens. Breitbrunn, Ammersee

Canon 70-200mm IS II ->200mm  f4; 0,2sec, ISO 200, Sony a7III,


*mag  = > light magnitude: Up to mag +3 or +4 stars are visible nearby cities with the naked eye, in very dark areas the seeing limit can reach up to mag +6.

The more higher numerical value is given, the more weaker are the objects. E.g.- 4,7 mag Venus glittering; - 1,00 Sirius brightest starr; + 3,5 M31 Andromedaa, pale shiny oval.


All comet observations from 2001 up to now ...
