Dog and Comet

Obligatory Dog Photo. We had a lot of rain the previous week.  This has cooled things down from the high eighties to the mid seventies—that's still warm enough for the dog to want to play in a local reservoir.  

The last few mornings, I've been looking in the east for Comet A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS.  I haven't seen it:  I think it's been too faint, and it's low enough that the hills to the east hide it before it gets too light.  I expect that I'll have better luck seeing it in mid-October.  

Apparently, there's another one, comet C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) waiting in the aisles; that one might be as bright as Venus a few days before Halloween.

It would be exciting if there were two comets visible in the sky at once. Finger's crossed; comets are notoriously hard to predict.
