Dusk Comet Nishimura
Description
A photo composite of multiple exposures. From the photographer: “… and probably the last observation so far I was able to do on Sunday, Sept. 17th, 2023, again from Lysá Mount, Sabinov (alt. 1 068 m), Slovakia. The comet was not visible to the naked eye (and I didn’t have binoculars), however was still photographically visible. I captured it just over the highest summits of Belianske Tatry, Slovakia. Hard to estimate, but considering other stars and comets’ location over the horizon, I believe it can be some 2-2.5 mag. Almost surely last observation I was able to do was from Slovakia, next days it would be a nice object for observers of the southern hemisphere (if it continues its path without damage due to solar radiation). Nice goodbye with the comet from here…”
