About this image

A capture of comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) on the evening of 23 October 2025. I was battling passing high level cloud, the neighbour's security light and time - the comet was setting behind a rooftop. Quite pleased with the result though, especially the structure in the tail. Using binoculars, I estimated the comet to be about magnitude 4.3, with a 3 degree tail.
