Title

We can confirm that the comet is continuing to lose brightness. Compared to April 13, the coma appeared more compact and smaller and more elongated. The brightness measured from the green images is 0m8 fainter than on the night of the full moon. The ion tail was also fainter. The sky conditions were almost the same. image C/2025 F2 SWAN 2025 04 16 2.27 UT 19x50sec 14"/4.2 QHY600 m1 9m3 coma 3' tail >1° PA 316 Jäger, Rhemann, Prosperi
