This past weekend I managed to get a decent shot of our cosmic guest! Comet C/2023 A3 - I also tossed in a few others I recently imaged as a bonus! I hope you enjoy.
Images were taken with a 50mm Triplet apochromatic scope. IMX462 sensor. 250mm ( F5 ) The nebula photos were taken with an Ha and OIII narrowband filter. Comet was 2min exposure. The 3 nebula below were 40min to 2 hours.

Next is the Crescent Nebula. Its an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, about 5000 light-years away from Earth.

Next is the Eagle Nebula, commonly known as "The Pillars of Creation". It consists of three towers of gas and dust standing light-years tall. Inside those dusty spires, stars are being born!

Finally, We have The Elephants Trunk Nebula. The Nebula is a concentration of interstellar gas and dust within the much larger ionized gas region IC 1396 located in the constellation Cepheus about 2,400 light years away from Earth.

Those are fantastic!! Great job!! And thanks for posting!
Do you stack multiple images for the pictures you posted, or were these only single images?
edit - Probably kind of hard to stack a 2 hour image because it'd be daylight after a couple images, but maybe the shorter ones.
