Details:
Yesterday morning, I was lucky with the comet C/2025 R3 PanSTARRS again. This time in a village called Krásné (Czech word meaning "Beautiful" in English translation), which somehow describes the comet itself. I had lots of clouds in the view; however, eventually I managed to spot and capture it over a lonely tree illuminated by a car driving on a road behind the horizon. Despite the low brightness of the comet, it is beautiful, especially in backyard telescopes and photographs. Actually, even if the view was cloudy, I could finally see its head without a telescope. And it is getting brighter every day. Hopefully, it reaches magnitude +3 later in the week as predicted. The image is cropped from a full-frame 50mm lens view. More technical info on my website.
