Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon)

I observed comet Lemmon for the first time on 26th Oct 2025 using my Celestron 130 telescope. I used my Infinix 40 pro cellphone for taking images and Siril software for stacking. Comet was shining on western part of sky, close to horizon. It was bit difficult to hop to comet using less magnification eyepiece because it provided very small amount of time before setting. I had to see it immediately after sunset and before it sets itself. There was much light on sky.
Luckily I found it within 5 minutes after setting telescope. I then started taking images. I took more than 400 images within 30 minutes. What you see here is stack of 11 images.
Comet is having beautiful green color and its tail is also visible. It was closes to Earth on 21st Oct 2025 and will be closest to Sun on 8th Nov 2025. From here, Quetta, Pakistan, its current location is exact west and it will be moving horizontally towards South in coming days. I will monitor it as long as it will be bright enough.
I tried to see it using 8x30 binoculars but was not able to find it because of dust on this part of sky. Naked eye visibility was also difficult from my location. I am lucky enough to see such a large number of comets as these are rare objects to become visible. It is my 19th comet!
You can also see its images in images section and on Facebook too.

Observing Orion Nebula (Bow shocks)

A bow shock is a curved shock wave formed when an object, such as a planet or star, travels through a gas or plasma at supersonic speed. This creates a boundary where the incoming material, like the solar wind, abruptly slows down, heats up, and compresses, much like the wave created by a fast-moving boat. Examples include the bow shock around Earth's magnetosphere and the shock waves around certain stars.
Here in this image we can see the three beautiful bow shocks and amazing image of Orion nebula which is result of images stacking. This is one of most beautiful images to date I have taken of Orion nebula.
With Orion nebula we can see another nebula under it. Most amazing thing present in the image is of course Bow Shocks. I wasn't expecting them to see but guess what how I found them. Actually a Hubble telescope image was showing so much detail and then when I saw my own images I found that they are also visible in my images.
Different beautiful colors of nebula are also visible indicating presence of different elements such as oxygen, hydrogen etc.
