Details:
Sequence of short color images showing Comet C/2025 F2 (SWAN)s coma and tail as the comet brightened from April 3 to April 6, then faded from April 6 to April 9-10 and then brightened a little on April 11. The Moon started to interfere with the images on April 11. The total time of the stacked images is short due to the comet's movement of about 4 arc minutes across the sky per hour, did not want to show a streaked comet or streaked stars in these images. Several calculations on different sets of images on the morning of April 11 resulted in a comet magnitude of 8.9. Select the large image to get an image with the proper resolution.
