Another comet for my collection. Once again it was a very close call – I had almost given up hope of getting a photo of it.

Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon is a bright, long-period comet discovered on January 3, 2025, that will reach its closest point to the Sun (perihelion) on November 8, 2025, making it a promising and accessible target for astrophotographers due to its potential naked-eye visibility and photogenic tail structure.
Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is a Halley-type periodic comet discovered on July 21, 1812, by French astronomer Jean-Louis Pons, and it is expected to reach its closest point to the Sun (perihelion) on April 21, 2024.
Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is a long-period comet discovered on January 9, 2023, that reached its closest point to the Sun (perihelion) on September 27, 2024.
The Comet is a long-period comet from the Oort cloud that was discovered in early 2023 and made its closest approach to the Sun on September 27.
Processing Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks was harder than expected. I still like the result.
Astrophoto with legacy lens. One year after collecting the data the processing finally worked. This material was one of the hardest to process, yet.
Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is a long-period comet discovered on March 2, 2022, that reached its closest point to the Sun (perihelion) on January 12, 2023, becoming one of the brightest comets observed in recent years.
Comet C/2021 A1 (LEONARD) was a long-period comet discovered on January 3, 2021, which reached its closest point to the Sun (perihelion) on January 3, 2022.
Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS) is a long-period comet discovered on May 21, 2017, which reached its closest point to the sun (perihelion) on December 19, 2022.
