Hi All: Astronaut Don Pettit captured a nice image of C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) from ISS earlier today prior to one of his local sunrises. At the time of his shot (1/9 12:59 UT, Nikon Z9 lens, f/1.2, 1/60^th of second) the solar elongation was only 11 degrees. I’ll ask Don if I can share it here. Any estimate of how bright it should be right now? There are Sagittarius reference stars in his image (mu, lambda, phi, delta, gamma, eta) plus Mercury and it is far brighter than any of them. (Mercury currently -0.4, and the comet looks at least 2 or 3 magnitudes brighter).? --Rob
