Details:
I was fortunate tonight to capture comet C/2025 A6 Lemmmon with a brilliant fireball in the same frame! The fireball may have been a sporadic, mag -5, shadow casting with flickering, this is the head of the fireball, the tail extended beyond the field of view, I was shooting a time lapse a the timne with a 50mm lens on full frame when it happened.
Lemmon was visible with naked eye with 1 degree of naked eye tail, and more than 5 degrees of visual gas tail in 42mm binos, it looked stunning in a telescope!
