LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — An ancient comet discovered last year is becoming visible in Lake County’s skies.
Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) will be visible in the west just after sunset, with the best times to observe from Oct. 14 to 24.
On Sunday, Bill Haddon, president of the Friends of the Taylor Observatory, captured this picture of the comet over the Hopland Grade at around 7:45 p.m.
The photo was taken at ISO 400, f3.4 using a Rokinon 135mm lens mounted on a Canon t2i and just using a tripod, no tracking, Haddon said.
