October 21, 2025 — It was a tough one to find but, after a good deal of effort under near-pristine (for us) skies, I was able to spot the comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) from a Medina County, Ohio park. This (above) is a quick edit of a single frame. Star tracking wasn’t what it should have been; I’ve got to get more practice in the field! I worked on combining multiple frames the next morning, attempting to create a better quality image.
Stacking RAW images of C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) I did what I could to pull the most out of the imagery. What we got was a somewhat “cleaner” version. Not spectacular but the best we could do given all circumstances. I hope to learn improved processing skills and revisit the source images in the future. In the meantime, though the pictures are not spectacular, I’m happy to have bagged another comet. After all, how many of them do most of us see in a lifetime? These were recorded the night of October 20 but the UTC time conversion moves the date to the 21st.



@stellalunaobservatory.space Great work! Totally socked in here in Seattle but hoping to get another glimpse soon.

Thank you! Not great, I’d say, but it’s a start and the best we could do given conditions and ability. Something to remember it by.

@stellalunaobservatory.space Exactly. That’s why I got a Dwarf II — quick a dirty to see what I can see from super light polluted skies. If I’m somewhere dark I’ll take my tracking mount and shoot with my Canon but that’s rare between weather, family, etc.
