Description:
Comet C/2025 R3 (PANSTARRS) will move from the evening skies to the morning skies by the end of the month as it continues to get brighter, hopefully becoming a naked eye comet near perihelion in its orbit on April 19. In these images the comet was magnitude 13.3, not a very impressive comet as seen through a 50mm f/5 Refractor telescope in evening twilight and my light polluted neighborhood.
