Description:
Yesterday, on 17th October 2024, the Full Moon was the brightest of the whole year. However, many people focused their view on the other part of the sky, where the comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS was visible despite the strong moonlight. I used the natural light to capture the comet from a spot close to UNESCO's Spiš Castle in eastern Slovakia. As the castle is so photogenic, especially in the Autumn colors, it offered just perfect composition with the long-tail comet. Now the Moon slowly disappears from the evening sky so the comet could be even more beautiful, especially from places away from light pollution.
