Passo Giovo
(1900 m osl), Italy
Escaping from the haze in the south Bavarian
plains up to the heights of the Tyrolean Alps.
On the Passo giovo the seeing was phantastic in
this dark area. In the evenig of the 18th of
October the comet could be seen surprisingly
easy with naked eyes.
Nice to see the changing of the tail in a period
of only 24 hours.

Very long tail about 15°

Newton 8", f/4.5, ISO 3200, 30 Sec., Sony aIV.
Changing of Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon
(ca. 4.2 mag)
in a
period of 24h.


Early morning photo. Get up, stand up
at a really frosty place (-4°C) ! This
should mention the not very easy condition above all for
the astronomical instruments to take astro photos.

Germerswang
Oberbayern
Despite the poor weather conditions in southern Germany some
regions were blessed with clear
skies in the morning hours. So head out and take the first
opportunity.

Newton 8" f4,5, Sony a7III, 20x50sec Iso
3200
( 6,7 mag )

Catastrophic! The image disturbance from
satellite tracks in less than 17 minutes within
1° of the image area makes astrophotography
almost impossible!
*mag
= > light magnitude:
Up to
mag
+3 or +4
stars are
visible nearby cities with the naked eye, in very dark areas the
seeing limit can reach up to mag
+6-7.
The more higher numerical value is
given, the more weaker are the objects. E.g.
- 4,7 mag, Venus glittering;
- 1,0 Sirius,
brightest star; + 3,5
M31 Andromeda,
pale shiny oval)
           
All comet observations
from 2001 up to now ..
