【Freshly Captured! Comet Lemon】
Comet Lemon (C/2025A6) in the evening sky.
I had photographed it at dawn, but this was my first time shooting it in the evening. It seems to be dropping below magnitude 5 and entering the 4th magnitude range.
It is currently moving from Ursa Major to Canes Venatici.

When Comet Lemon was discovered in January 2025, it was still a faint glimmer of light, but now it has become this bright and clear! These photos were taken by the Asahikawa Astronomical Society, a citizen's astronomy club based in Asahikawa, Hokkaido. It's a gathering of people who love astronomy and the starry sky, and they conduct activities to widely share the charm of the night sky, such as stargazing parties, study sessions, and astrophotography.

Users have responded to this beautiful photo with comments like, "The faint green light is beautiful," "As expected from high-latitude Hokkaido," and "I have to make a wish."
