[Freshly caught! Lemon Comet] Comet Lemmon (C/2025A6) in the evening sky I had taken pictures at dawn, but this was the first time I had taken pictures in the evening. It looks like it will be below magnitude 5 and will be in the fourth magnitude range. Moving from Ursa Major to Canes Venatici. 2025.10.13 18:15 Location: Takasu Town, Hokkaido

Quoted from @kyokutenx's post

When Comet Lemmon was discovered in January 2025, it was still a faint light, but now it's so bright and clear! The photo was taken by the Asahikawa Astronomy Club, a citizens' astronomy club based in Asahikawa, Hokkaido. People who love astronomy and the starry sky gather together to spread the charm of the starry sky through activities such as stargazing parties, study groups, and astrophotography.

Users have commented on this beautiful photo, saying things like, "The pale green light is beautiful," "As expected from Hokkaido, which has a high latitude," and "I have to make a wish."
