Description:

Comet C/2023 A3s rate of fading has slowed down the past 10 days, only fading 1/2 magnitude compared to the previous 10 days when it faded 1.1 magnitudes as observed from Earth. Magnitude 8.3 last evening. Still a nice tail and steady stream of debris but amazingly still no big clumps of material ejected at any one time, at least not that I have noticed.
