This is Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3) emerging into the evening sky and low in the twilight, on October 11, 2024. The location was along Highway US 80 north of Rodeo and Animas, New Mexico, looking west toward the desert mountains in Arizona, north of the Chiricahuas.

The comet was not naked eye, but was easy in binoculars if you knew just where to look. And it looked much like this, with a fuzzy head and short stubby taii.

This is a single 1-second exposure, untracked, with the RF135mm lens at f/2.8 on the Canon R5 at ISO 100.
