The fog in SF lifted right at sunset and C/2023 A3 was easily naked eye visible. Best comet I have seen to date! You can see an Anit-tail and Venus reflected in a tide pool.
The sun set wasn't half bad either. If you look close you can see some sunspots mixed in with some birds.
The tail was so long it barely fit in the 70mm view (well more like 100mm on my crop sensor). I kept thinking the anti-tail was an artifact like a lens flare or reflection but then found out what an anti-tail is and that it's just how it looks from the earth's current perspective.
It's a little hard to tell but you can see it reflecting in the water just a little.
It started looking a little red as it was setting and getting into the thick atmosphere and low haze.
