The long anticipated comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS has been seen in the morning sky by Terry Lovejoy (of comet Lovejoy fame). At magnitude 5.5 it is a bit brighter than predicted, and although the more optimistic predictions of it’s potential brightness are unlikely to be fulfilled, it looks like it will be a nice little comet. Visible to the unaided eye but not spectacular.
Probably the earliest most of us will be able to see the comet is this Saturday, when it is around 4 degrees above the horizon. You will need a level, unobstructed horizon to see it and binoculars. Although theoretically visible to the unaided eye, the atmospheric density near the horizon and the encroaching dawn will mean the comet will be obscured. Through binoculars it will be a fuzzy dot.
The printable black and white charts above will help you locate the comet, you may need binoculars first to locate it before you can spot is with your unaided eye.
When the comet makes its closest approach to the Sun on 27 September, at a distance of 0.40 A, it will be in a better position at around 9 degrees (nearly two hand-spans) above the horizon at nautical twilight (60 minutes before sunrise) and should be (just) unaided eye visible and likely its tail will be binocular visible.
The comet will continue to brighten as it heads towards its closest approach to earth on the 12th of October, sadly for most of the time it is too close to the sun to see. and from 2nd October to 13 October the comet will be lost in the twilight.
