Title

New comet discovery C/2025 F2 SWAN announced today on CBET 5538. I am one of the co-discoverers, and this is my 10th credited SWAN comet since 2004. Hopefully C/2025 F2 will survive its perihelion passage on May 1st, near the orbit of Mercury, and then become visible for southerners. It is currently restricted to northern observers during April. This image taken using a remote telescope. C/2025 F2 SWAN. 2025 April 6 at 11:40UT. I-TEL Utah T26 0.50-m f/3 Planewave Delta Rho 500 + ASI6200mm. 6x30sec. FOV 1 deg. North up
