Details:
In the morning sky, just before the twilight, the comet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) can be easily found. It is located in the constellation Pegasus, just by the asterism of "Pegasus Square". Northerners can succeed with its spotting through a small telescope, where even a long tail develops. I was lucky to see and capture it this morning as I had a perfect view of the comet over Proseč u Chrudimi, Czech Republic, just before twilight. The comet’s tail exceeded 14 degrees in the photographs, making it such a nice object along with the Andromeda Galaxy located on the left. The moonlight made the foreground decently illuminated at the same moment when an “early-bird” driver went in the car down on the road.
