Comet C/2024 G3 (Atlas) has survived perihelion. It is looking magnificent in the SOHO and STEREO spacecraft images. the high resolution FITS images from SOHO show finely detailed tail structure. people have been able to image it in daylight and I have seen magnitude estimates of between -5 and -2.5, if these hold up as it moves away from the sun, we may be able to see it low on the western horizon from the 16th on.
People have been reporting being able to photograph it 10 minutes after sunset in the US. See the table below for spotters charts (I am still using the old Minor Planet & Comet Ephemeris Service’s prediction suggesting a peak magnitude of around -1.4 so we may see something much brighter). We may even be able to see some tail after the comets head is below the horizon.
While this will not be another comet McNaught, Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) has a very good chance of being a wonderful object as it emerges from the twilight.
