Details:
Pretty handy that C/2025 R2 (SWAN) is an evening object (vs early morning Lemmon) but it was still in heavy twilight + gibbous moon + horizon loving clouds on October 2nd. So it's definitely not as detailed as Lemmon. The 1.5° tail looks yellowish, so it might be a dust tail, not ion tail that's showing up. No chance of seeing it naked eye, at least with my eyes, but it was an easy find near Alpha Librae this night.
