Details:
I was shooting a time lapse of comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon tonight when a brilliant fireball lit up the sky in northern Bootes above the comet, flashing several time. I captured the head of the fireball in the same frame as the comet in a 50mm image on full frame. Comet dust vs comnet Lemmmon, the fireball looked to have been a sporadic.
Lemmon was naked eye with 1 degree of naked eye tail, in 42mm binos the gas tail was more than 5 degrees, in the telescope it was absolutely gorgeous!
