On Autumn Astronomy Day, I write about my recent astronomical observations:

I observed asteroid (65803) Didymos remotely at iTelescope.Net T69 (0.28-m f/2.2 reflector + CCD at Siding Spring Observatory, Australia) on 2022-09-29, on 16:44 UT, after the impact by DART.

Now it's like an artificial comet, I see three tails in the image (stacked 7x120 sec.).

I estimate it was 1 magnitude brighter compared to September 17th.
