Petr Horálek in Europe was able to take a picture of the comet C/2024 G3 ATLAS. Not only that, he saw this comet with the naked eye. Let’s hope for good weather, we should be able to see it as well.
Sungrazing Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) has just entered the field of view of SOHO’s C3 coronagraph (see image below). Should be great viewing of the comet’s fiery passage near the sun.

Today January 14 I observed comet C/2024 G3 ATLAS after sunset. I was observing over the KR7 reservoir, alternately photographing and observing with the binocular 10×50. Around 5:25pm I suddenly saw the comet in the reds low over the horizon in my 10×50. It had a bright nucleus and a distinct tail. I observed it for about 10 seconds. Then I looked away and tried to find it again, but I couldn’t. I can’t see it in the pictures either 🙁
