Description: And here is my second photograph of comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon).
Phew, what a ride that was!
While photographing this stunning composition of comet Lemmon above the Old Castle, I had more luck than skill.
The weather forecast for that evening was a real puzzle, but I had to try my luck!
When I arrived at the location, the sky was completely clear, not a single cloud in sight. Full of motivation, I rushed to the meadow below the castle and searched for a spot where I could capture the comet.
I admit, I had quite a few problems finding the ideal position, and during that time, the sky started to cloud over.
I said to myself, “Oh damn, I need to start shooting the comet!” When I saw the first tracked frame of the comet, clouds were already appearing at the top, but the comet was still visible. I only had a few minutes left to successfully capture the comet above the castle. It was pretty intense!
Until I started editing, I didn’t know what to expect from this composition, but in the end, I made the most of that night, and thus, a new memorable photograph of this wonderful comet and the Old Castle is alive.
The comet will come closest to Earth today- October 21. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to photograph it due to poor weather conditions.
