About this image

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) on the evening of 25 October 2025. The sky was a bit clearer this evening so I got a better view of the comet and especially the tail. It was interesting to see how it had changed compared to a couple of days ago. Using binoculars, I estimated the comet to be about magnitude 4.2, with a 3 degree tail.
