Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)

Finally got the comet. After a night with binuclear only and another night of mostly cloudy sky, I managed to capture the comet. I think comets are very impressive. This one will not return until very long time!

A little of winter

March 2022  Winter in south has a strange feeling. It's cold but not cold enough to stop the nature; so you see the nature is slowed down but not fully stopped.

Most of the time you can have a solid and predictable plan for your trip and that can spoil the adventurous nature of the experience so I find new ways to surprise myself.   I packed up my stuff in White Dwarf and we headed to Mississippi. I tried to be light but unlike hiking, camping can get heavy very fast because we don't notice the weight we don't carry...
