About this image

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) — captured low in the western sky from Southsea, Portsmouth on October 25th, 2025.

Stack of 150 x 10s subs using my Askar 180mm and ASI2600MC-Pro.

Tough conditions with the comet hugging the horizon, neighbours' trees and outside lights! Not the best but at least I got it!

Great image. Can you correct the "observed time" please? It currently says Oct 26 at 1900 UTC but it is actually Oct 25 as stated in your caption.
