Title

The comet's brightness may have diminished. From 12x40sec with the green filter I found it about 8m8, 0m5 fainter than on April 6. But maybe it was just the conditions. There was moonlight and high clouds. How the brightness will develop further is the good question. C/2025 F2 2025 april 9 UT 2.40 43x15 sec 11"/2.2 QHY600 Jäger, Rhemann, Prosperi
