Title

Comet: C/2025 R3 Panstarrs -Date/Time Local: 4/9/26 3:55am MST -Date/Time UT: 3/26/26 10:55 UT -FOV: 6.9 x 10.3 degrees -Orientation: W up -Seeing:1 -Transparency: 3 -Scale: 23 arcsec/Pixel -Instrument: Zeiss Milvus 135mm f/2 -Exposure: 28 min total -Camera: ASI2600MC -Location: Payson,AZ The field here is 10 degrees tall, and this tail certainly exceeds that but is quite faint at that point. The tail seems to consist of many broken blue streamers following an emerald green coma and brilliant stellar nucleus. All subframes were stacked on the first image of the set to preserve the horizon.
