UPDATE 2024 SEP 27 - PERIHELION DAY

Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS was discovered by the ATLAS survey (located in South Africa) on 2023 February 22,
and later connected to earlier observations reported by Purple Mountain (Tsuchinshan) Observatory on 2023 January 9.
This comet has potential to reach bright naked eye visibility during October 2024.
The brightest comet in 13 years, since C/2011 W3 Lovejoy in December 2011
At discovery, the comet shone at 18th magnitude and situated 7.3AU from the Sun.
Calculations indicate that the orbital geometry of the Sun-Earth encounter will be very favourable.
The comet arrives at perihelion on 2024 September 27, at 0.39AU (58 million km) from the Sun.
Two weeks later, on 2024 October 12, the comet will be closest to the Earth at 0.47AU. (70 million kms)
A conservative approach to its rate of brightening will see the comet reach 2nd magnitude at this time.
However, the comet will be seen at a very high phase angle during the first 2 weeks of October, peaking on October 9-10.
i.e. it will be situated nearly directly between the Sun and the Earth.
A process known as “forward scattering” of sunlight by dust particles could cause a significant surge in the comets brightness,
but this requires the nucleus to release a large amount of dust for this effect to be noticeable, and it will be brief
(several days either side of October 9-10).
The comet will also need to be large enough to survive its solar encounter and not fizzle out.
The good news is that C/2023 A3 appears to be large enough - AND IT HAS SURVIVED
It has an absolute magnitude of 6 (ie would appear magnitude 6 if situated 1AU from Earth and Sun),
which translates to an object of about 5kms across.
It also appears strongly condensed, which is a good indicator of a large, active, dusty nucleus.
As the comet is dynamically new, they tend to brighten more slowly than a periodic comet,
typically a rate of 8 log r, where r is the distance to the Sun.
Thus, the most likely outcome is a baseline peak brightness of magnitude 2,
with a potential brief surge on October 9 to magnitude -4 due to effect of forward scattering,
however this will be offset by its close proximity to the Sun.

Viewing will favour Southern Hemisphere observers in the morning sky
when the comet is at perihelion in late September 2024.

Common question is "where can i find the comet?"
Comets differ from planets because they are not confined to the ecliptic( ie on highly elliptical, inclined orbits)
My best recommendation is to download a night sky phone app.
I prefer Sky Safari.
Another tip is to use compass app on your phone to determine point of azimuth (rising and setting)

Observe comet 1.5 to 0.5 hours before local Sunrise
 Below ephemeris for 5am AEST for an observer at 35 South latitude.
r = distance to Sun, Delta = distance to Earth, mag = brightness (compare Venus -4, Jupiter -2, Saturn 0)
Note that Azimuth is nearly directly EAST
Note that magnitude rapidly brightens during October but will be closer to twilight.
 You may catch the comet as late as October 6, when deep in twilight at mganitude -1

On October 9-10, maximum brightness is reached when the comet is situated only 4 degrees from the Sun.
Whilst there is a possibility it may be bright enough to be visible during the daytime,
a much safer option is to follow its passage through the SOHO Movie Theatre LASCO C3 coronagraph at:

https://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/data/Theater/
Choose the C3 imager at 1024 resolution for best results.
The comet enters the field of view on October 7 at 15:00UT,
reaches maximum brightness on October 9 at 11:00UT,
then exits the field of view on October 10 at 23:00UT.

Viewing will then favour Northern Hemisphere observers when the comet emerges out of evening twilight
during mid October 202 but southerners will still get the chance to see it, albeit low on the horizon.

YOU NEED A CLEAR HORIZON TO THE WEST NORTHWEST (Azimuth 280-290)
Look 0.5 to 1.5 hrs after local sunset.
The further north you are situated, the better.
Below ephemeris for 8:30pm AEDT for an observer at 35 South latitude.
Visible from northern Australia from Oct 13, southern Australia from Oct 15.

 
C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS Observing Guide


September 2024
 the comet reappears in morning twilight for southern observers, brightening from magnitude 6.5 to 2.5.
The comet should be recovered by mid-September, very low in the eastern morning twilight,
about 1 hour prior to sunrise, shining at magnitude 4.5, in the constellation of Sextans.
The solar elongation remains low during the month, but this will be offset by the comets rapid brightening.
A clear view of the eastern horizon is required.
Moonlight and twilight interferes with visibility.
On the morning of perihelion, September 27, the magnitude 3.0 comet, now at a maximum solar elongation of 23 degrees west,
should make a fine site with the crescent moon, about an hour prior to sunrise.
By September 30, the now magnitude 2.0 comet is also observable from the northern hemisphere but southerners are still favoured.

October 2024
The comet is at its finest and may put on a spectacular display, however it will remain close to the Sun for the first 2 weeks of the month.
The comet will remain in morning twilight during the first 6 days of October whilst the elongation rapidly decreases.
This may be offset by forward scattering which may see the comet reach negative magnitude.
On October 9-10, it should reach peak brightness, the exact peak will depend on the amount of forward scattering enhancement.
If the comet is dusty, a possible sharp peak of magnitude -4 is possible, which may make the comet observable during daylight at this time.
The comet will be situated some 4 degrees from the Sun and best attempted at midday by experienced observers only.
On October 12, the comet is closest to the Earth (70 million kms) and reappears in the evening twilight, favouring northern hemisphere observers
looking at its very best.
On October 14-15, southern hemisphere observers now get their first views of the comet during evening twilight,


35S latitude chart from mid October 2024

about 1 hour after Sunset. It may appear of 1st magnitude and joins the brighter planet Venus in the evening.
You must have a clear western horizon with no obstructions.
Visibility rapidly improves with each passing night, but moonlight will interfere.
However, the advantage of moonlight is that it will light up the landscape and create excellent opportunities for landscape photography.
On October 15, Earth crosses the orbital plane of the comet, where we will view the dust tail edge-on.
This has the effect of enhancing visibility. The tail should appear as a long narrow spike, with an  anti-tail pointing towards the sun.
Post orbital crossing, the dust tail will start to broaden quite rapidly.
From October 19, moonlight no longer interferes, and the now fully developed magnitude 3.0 comet will now be seen in a dark sky.
Rural skies and a clear western horizon are a must have to observe the magnificent splendour of the comet and its dust and ion tails.
On October 20, the now magnitude 3.5 comet can be seen near 4th magnitude Lambda Ophiuchii,
about 10 degrees above the horizon at end of astronomical twilight.
On October 26, the now magnitude 4.5 comet can be seen near Sigma Oph, of similar brightness.
On October 28, the now magnitude 5.0 comet can be seen a degree south of Beta Oph.
By the end of October, the comet has faded to magnitude 5.5

November 2024
the comet is best observed in evening skies, after dusk, as it continues its easterly trek
through the constellations of Ophiuchus, Serpens and Aquila fading from magnitude 5.5 to 8.5.
Best viewing occurs early in the month as moonlight interferes from November 4 to 16.
On November 22-23, the now magnitude 8.0 comet is situated near Theta 1,2 Serpens
and by this time, southerners will lose sight of it due to increasing twilight.
Henceforth the comet will remain a northern object until the end of the year as it approaches solar conjunction,
reappearing for them in February at magnitude 12.
