C/2024 Atlas G3 at Perihelion today - 01/13/25
C/2024 G3 Atlas at Perihelion, From Arizona. January 13 starting at 11:17 am MST (6:17 UTC), 10" f/3.9 Newtonian, 1000 exposures each 0.03s combined into one stack.? ASI083, Payson Arizona.
the orientation is still north up, and you can see the comet has not only changed its rotation, but the tail is now curved.? It also has a stronger tail spine as well.??

Hi guys,
I also tried yesterday afternoon from B06 Montseny Observatory using my Schmidt Right camera on Sony Alfa?6000. Nothing noticeable in the pictures. The sky was blue and keeps really? clear here in Catalonia. We were this morning at -5 ?C. Hopefully I can try it again in the afternoon.
Good luck!

Re: Comet Atas G3 at high noon this today - 1/12/25
Chris,
That is a fantastic image.
I tried again from Chelmsford, UK at 51.5N. Conditions were much worse even though the comet was higher in the sky. The sky was quite milky and much brighter than it was yesterday. I did pick up the comet as a star-like object but no sign of the tail today. I measured a magnitude of -1.3 (at Jan 12.41) in a 40 arcsec diameter aperture using Mercury and Vega as references and applying an extinction correction depending on the airmass. I will only have detected the very brightest core of the coma.
My daytime images from the last two days are:
That will be my last daytime image. I hope the comet survives and puts on a nice show in the evening sky for those down south.
Nick James. BAA.

Comet Atas G3 at high noon this today - 1/12/25
C/2024 G3 Atlas from Arizona at near noon daytime.? January 12 starting at 10:44am MST ( 5:44 PM UTC), 10" f/3.9 Newtonian, 250 exposures each 0.03s combined onto? image in stack.? ASI083, Payson,AZ.??
The comet was 5 degrees from the Sun, and I used a special baffle tube system to block the sun from entering the tube.? the nucleus of the comet is singular, stellar and not breaking up as far as I can see.??
Clear Skies,
Chris Schur

We have blue skies here believe the trick is getting a filter that give high contrast against the blue sky and the glare of the sun. Regards Thomas Dorman.

I tried around 13:30 UT (14:30 local) with 10x50's also using a roof as a shield. A lot of moisture in the air and passing clouds. Didn't see anything and would make it fainter that -4 mag. If weather co-operates I'll give it another try tomorrow.

With high confidence we believe we observed?C/2024 G3 mid-morning naked eye? using? the roof of our house? to block the sun? and than using a polarizing filter than a Svbony IR pass 685nm filter.? If we had to give a magnitude guess some where around -3.5. It is much like trying to observe Venus just as it? is making daylight naked eye visibility not at it brightest. Believe it is best in?Svbony IR pass 685nm filter

Hi all,
?
Someone from Saji Observatory reported a possible fragment 4.5 arcseconds south of C/2024 G3, detected with a 103 cm telescope. Can somebody confirm?
