C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) Captured on September 26, 2025
Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) shows off a strikingly green coma and a long, intricate ion tail stretching across the starry background. Captured on September 26, 2025, this image reveals delicate streamers in the tail and subtle interactions with the solar wind, producing a flowing, almost ribbon-like appearance. The contrast between the comet's bright nucleus and the golden foreground stars adds depth to the scene.
This image was made using RGB and luminance exposures totaling just over an hour of integration time, combining 30×30″ frames for each color channel with additional 120″ and 300″ luminance frames to bring out the faintest structures in the tail. C/2025 A6 continues to be a dynamic and visually spectacular visitor to the inner solar system.
