C/2025 R2 (SWAN) last night, finally I was able to take a 3 panel panorama to track the tail, which was unfortunately dimmer and more diffuse than on earlier days. Still, it can be followed up to cca. 7 degrees on the processed image (8 mins total for each panel, LUM only, Takahashi FSQ106 ED scope via Skygems Network, Namibia).  C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) also makes an appearance in the lower left part with its nice cca. 1 deg. dust tail (the two comets will get even closer in the following days).
