Details:
About a week ago a potential new comet was discovered in a SOHO image and was brought to the attention of the astronomy community in Maik Meyer's Comet Mailing List where a group of amateur astronomers worked to get enough data from images to generate ephemeris for the new comet. The comet has initially been referred to as Comet SWAN25F. Comet SWAN25F on the morning of 2025 April 3 was magnitude 10.6, had a coma of 2' and a tail that extended about 1/2 degree at a position angle of 299 degrees. The tail is very faint in this image composed of 18x10s images and in this image the tail points straight up from the comet coma. The tail shows best in the black and white image.
