Equipment:

50mm f/5 Refractor and IMX462 camera

Description:

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) has emerged out of morning twilight as a bright comet with a nice green coma. The comet is magnitude 10.8 in these images with a 3.5' wide coma, some with bigger telescopes suggest the coma is 8' wide. Revised magnitude predictions have the comet brightening to magnitude 4 or 5 in October which would make for a nice binocular comet and maybe a naked eye comet for those in very dark parts of the country.
