Comet C/2024 G3 very low in bright evening twilight as seen from the mountains of southern New Mexico at 9,000 feet. (Tuesday, 14 January)

At the time of this photo, the sun was about 6 degrees below the horizon (very bright twilight!) and the comet was about 1 to 2 degrees above the horizon.

The second image is a 3x crop of the first.

I never saw the comet with my eyes. I was pointing the camera blind. First image is the complete frame of an APS-C camera and 200mm lens.

The comet, only a minute before it set behind distant conifers that are black silhouettes. The twilight sky is orange and it transitions to a dark blue along the top edge of the frame. The comet's tail points straight up, but is short.

Day by day it will get slightly higher in the sky.
This is a 3x crop of the first image.
