Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) last night. It was looking great naked eye before moonrise. Still very easy to see from a dark location.
I had the telescope out for the ISS solar transit anyway so I thought I might as well catch the comet with it.

Also I caught a fireball last night. It doesn't look as bright as one normally would because I dialed down the exposure due to moonlight. The good news is I have it on video too.
