Took advantage of the new Moon, and clear skies to take another look at Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) up at Carden last night. Cold and windy when I arrived, but the wind died down, and it was quite comfortable. Another family arrived, and enjoyed the views. Kp never got above 1, so no northern lights unfortunately. When I left it was 7°C, and the SQM was 20.90. We were surrounded by coyotes on all sides…
I was able to locate the comet in binoculars at 7:17pm. It was brighter that the last 2 nights I was up, and was visible naked eye using averted vision after it finally got dark.
There are a shit load of satellites up there…
Also managed to get C/2025 R2 (SWAN) which seems to be brightening, and C/2024 E1 (Wierzchoś) Which is barely visible with a 500 second exposure. Sadly Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) is too close to the Sun from this latitude.
Congratulations Toronto Blue Jays
