Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) – November 1, 2025 Observation

Weather and Conditions

After a day of heavy rain, the skies finally cleared in the evening. The Moon was bright, making conditions far from ideal for comet hunting. Still, it turned out to be a rewarding night!

Visibility

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) was not visible to the naked eye, most likely due to the Moon’s glare. However, through optics, the view was excellent:

• 16x42 Image Stabilized binoculars: The comet appeared faint but distinct.
• Analog Sky binoculars: Made spotting the comet much easier.

Through the Analog Sky Magic binoculars

Using:

• 36mm Baader Hyperion
• 19mm Tele Vue Panoptic

The comet looked beautiful, with a tail extending more than 1° across the sky—a delicate and impressive sight despite the lunar interference.

Photography

Captured with:

• Camera: Canon EOS R
• Lens: RF 28–70mm F/2.0
• Settings: ISO 800, 3.2-second exposure

The images show the comet’s subtle glow and elongated tail—a nice reward after a cloudy day.

Summary

Even though the Moon made naked-eye observation impossible, binoculars and a telescope revealed a stunning comet with a graceful tail.
