Cometa C/2025 A6 (Lemmon)

After seeing so many magnificent captures of this celestial visitor, I decided to try my luck in the early hours of the 11th. Here is my modest image of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon). The star trails in the background reveal that the exposure was guided on the comet, tracking its movement across the sky. I’m not yet using a more advanced stacking method that combines comet- and star-guided frames, but this approach gives the image a more authentic and realistic feel, much like what the eye would perceive at the time of capture. The interrupted star trails result from the manual removal of frames containing satellites or other unwanted objects.
