C/2025 A6 (Lemmon)

[Andy Elliott]

I have not had much of a chance to image C/2025 A6 (Lemmon), what with clouds and its position in the evening sky from my location.

I have managed 2 sessions now, one with my main rig (the Esprit 100ED and ASI2600MC) and one with my wide field set up using the Samyang (Rokinon) 132mm lens.

The first image is with the Esprit 100, the second with the Samyang 135.

Both processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop.

Thanks for looking.

Awesome work Andy!

It's sweet that you used both. The Espirit is great because of the level of detail around the head of the comet and immediate tail. And the 135mm shows how crazy long that tail is.

Thos are both fantastic, but that tail detail in the wide shot makes it my favorite - really striking captures!

Thanks Jim. That tail is just crazy! I really am enjoying the different perspective on things that the 135mm lens gives. I just wish I had a second mount so that I could run both set ups at the same time.

Thanks mike. Yes I agree, this comet really needs the wider field of view to show off its awesome tail.

I have 2 mounts, though the AM5 is really spoiling me, so not sure I want to go back to the iOprtron Gem28. What I am short on is astro cameras. I only have the 2600mc Pro. I maybe need to pick up the 585mc Pro since it's a lot cheaper, but I think could make a nice second camera.

Here is some unsolicited input Jim, but your next astro camera needs to be a mono camera. That's just my opinion. But if you want to expand your horizons into another part of the hobby that is what IU think makes sense. The mono version of the 533 is a very good camera and not too much more. Of course then there is the filter wheel and filters too. But until you try mino imaging you do not know what you might be missing. Just my 2 cents...
