Comet #Lemmon ... bathing in #aurora ... seen from the #ISS: another Kimiya Yui photograph - https://x.com/Astro_Kimiya/status/1981845320653734318 - with Gemma in CrB the bright star on the left.

Amazing raw (!) images of comet #Lemmon with different optics and cameras in the live webcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD0jJnuuwq8 from Italy from 2 1/2 hours ago.

What comet #Lemmon looks like from the #ISS right now - a picture by the Japanese #astronaut Kimiya Yui from https://x.com/Astro_Kimiya/status/1981102591494021158 with more timesteps. And see also https://x.com/Astro_Kimiya/status/1980373847154258171 and https://x.com/Astro_Kimiya/status/1980759984410423546 and the animation https://x.com/Astro_Kimiya/status/1980376397156872537

My first capture of comet #Lemmon 45 minutes ago! Under the most crappy conditions - as outlined in https://www.facebook.com/dan.fischer.393/posts/pfbid0TkKrY8H2H1brFytp38psyF5gounAyAEjmnqZyez72jRMDaqHEEHRMqRT3tkJw45xl where also more pictures are shown and technical data given - but at ~4.3 mag. according to https://cobs.si/obs_list?id=2606 and with a highly condensed coma the comet made it through in seconds, even with a bit of tail.

A remarkable video clip taken on the #ISS was just posted at #Lemmon rising with a substantial tail - and numerous #satellites flying around.

Tonight comet #Lemmon was picked up by several wide-angle webcams in Europe: https://x.com/JAtanackov/status/1977456751831093352 at the Raxalpe in Austria (left) and https://bsky.app/profile/huubeggen.bsky.social/post/3m2zhian3722b in Abisko, Sweden, together with aurora. Its brightness - https://cobs.si/obs_list?id=2606 - is around 5.2 mag. now and the degree of condensation 5 to 7, so for these cameras the comets looks like a slightly fuzzy green five-mag. star.

A few hours ago there was a live broadcast of pictures being taken of comet #Lemmon from Japan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Edx5sVaptu0 - the quality of the practically raw images was quite impressive.

A *lot* has happened in the #comets arena in the past week: in #Lemmon, #SWAN and more.
