I caught a brief glimpse of comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS (pronounced "Choo-cheen-SHAHN") setting between trees on Saturday, but it was overcast all day Sunday and Monday. However, by Monday evening the clouds blew away and I got a great view of the comet from up the hill at Valley View Farm. The photo above is from Tuesday night, the comet setting among greenish streaks of airglow. Click the picture for more shots. The comet's long tail can be seen with the naked eye, though not as spectacularly as in photos. Tsuchinshan will be visible all this week and beyond, getting fainter but rising up higher in the sky. Just look to the west as it gets dark after sunset. You don't need a telescope, but binoculars will help you see the comet more clearly.
