Sunday, October 12, was my third morning in a row trying to capture Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon.  This time, I used my bigger telescope, Blue, from my driveway.

From my Bortle 8 driveway, I still could not spot the comet with binoculars.

My larger telescope with about 1.2 hours worth of data certainly picked up more details in the comet and more stars than my smaller telescope did two nights earlier.  

Comet processing takes a long time, and I’ve had some good luck as far as weather, more pictures to come …
