Details:
On this 65th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's first manned spaceflight I thought I was going to get my best view yet of C/2025 R3 Panstars. At 4.40 am on my phone the view of the blue green coma and long buffeted tail looked lovely for about 5 minutes then a great bank of cloud rolled over obscuring the comet until the sky was too bright. Not yet naked eye from London. 18 30 second images self stacked in Dwarflab Mini
Comet's distance at the time 125 million kms.
