C/2025 A6 Lemmon

The image was captured from my astronomy club's site under 21.1 magnitude conditions. I used my William Optics Fluorostar 132 with 0.72 reducer and a QHY600M camera with Chroma RGB filters. In other words, full frame, 667mm focal length, F5 with a mono camera under Bortle 4 skies. My NINA sequence was configured to capture 60 second exposures and changing the filter after each exposure. I got 70 minutes total. The image was stacked and processed in Pixinsight, since this was my second and likely last attempt, I pushed the data a bit hard on purpose.

Unfortunately my weather forecast shows a week's worth of clouds and rain, I hope many of you still get a chance to get out there.

For those gathering info for the first time, the comet is moving towards the 10 o'clock position. This is from a previous night, but at 667mm on a full frame sensor this is how much the comet moves in 70 minutes. If you use NINA and Orbitals, make sure to download the Comet database before going out, we had quite a few people at the club that forgot.



Clear Skies!

Wow,

nice shock wave and ion tale, also the colors.

From the light polluted Netherlands (Bortle 7-8)

I am still waiting for some clear skies
