The much-hyped comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan–ATLAS is now visible in the evening sky. I was able to spot it about 45 minutes after sunset (sunset was about 6:32 pm MDT), after waiting out some interfering clouds.
I had to travel to a viewing spot about 6 miles from home to get away from view-blocking mountain ridges and an overhanging cloud deck. The compensation was getting to see deer, hear elk bugling, coyotes howling, and a red fox scampering across the road in my headlight beams on the return home.
