Taken Sunday night from near San Diego using a Nikon Z8 and a Voigtlander APO-Lanthar 50mm f/2 lens. This is a single frame exposed for 2s at f/2, ISO400. First up, a relatively wide field showing the horizon.
Image processing with Photohop 2024. I had to remove two airplane trails and I also rotated the image slightly away from level to eliminate a brightly lit house and I then "spot healed" a few distracting lights (i.e. the horizon line has been retouched).
You can click on the preview to read the captions and to see the full, CN-hosted image (1528 x 1200 pixels).
[UPDATE]
It's been pointed out that C/2023 A3 is now showing a faint antitail and if you look closely at the below image (perhaps using averted vision) you may be able to see that feature until it fades into the brighter, lower part of the sky. To see the antitail it probably helps if you are at a location with low light pollution and sparklingly clear skies. I'm imaging under Bortle 7 conditions and last night was not particularly clear so that may have made my situation less than ideal. That said, the current weather forecast for San Diego is for mostly overcast skies until this coming Friday, so Sunday night might have been my best opportunity to image the comet since it's getting fainter every day and the full moon is coming this Thursday.
