Cloudy this evening, but here's my shot of Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) last night ☄️

It's a 9 min stack of 5 sec images with my DSLR+85mm lens on a tripod, unguided, so the stars are slightly trailed 🤷‍♂️

I've removed a gradient due to light pollution over Mannheim, but there some residuals as I've kept the sky bright to trace the tail extending 10º towards β Oph & the IC4665 cluster at top-left & see the faint anti-tail below 👍
