Image of comet C/2024 E1 taken on the night between 24 and 25 May 2025 from the Frasso Sabino Observatory (368mm Cassegrain telescope at F/6.8 with reducer and focal flattener + CMOS in 4x4). Sum of 40x90s, image scale 1".24/pixel, field of 32'.4x21'.6, north almost perfectly up and east to the left. Estimated magnitude of the coma (m1), without filters, 15.1 for a diameter of 25" (20 pixels). Tail of 0'.3 in PA 238° and perhaps (but very weak and with some doubts that it is real) an elongation of 1'.1 in PA 272°. |
