Yesterday, Friday, October 25, I was briefly observing at the KR7 reservoir in the upper parking lot, which has a better view than the lower parking lot. Unfortunately, from here you can also see the light sources on the horizon and there is clear light pollution from the city. Still, it’s a good place to observe near the city. Clouds were chasing the sky. Comet C/2023 A3 was very visible in 10×50 binoculars and its tail was visible across the field of view. Close above the comet, the open cluster IC 4665 4m1, called the Summer Beehive, was clearly visible above the beta star Ophiuchi Cebalrai 2m9.
