Comet A6 Lemmon
Insane Satellite traffic while imaging this Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon Early Saturday Morning,
I had to wait a hour longer just for it to clear the trees in the Northeast.
I was finally able to image it around 6:00am, with dawn rising Fast, and the Satellite traffic was crazy,
the stars are trailing because I’m tracking the Comet’s Nucleus / motion through the background stars.
Note: out of the 44 separate 60 second images taken on that morning only 6 did not have satellites trails in them.
Honestly was a bit frustrating…..
But I was able to save some of these images for a nice comet shot without the long satellite trails, but I will post that later,
I can always use Sigma reject to remove the lines in post capture processing to be able to use many of them.
I thought I would share with you this crazy unfiltered stacked shot to show the Satellite traffic.
I included a negative image to help you see the fainter Satellite trails as well.
Zoom in and see the fainter lines as well I count at least 30 + trails.
I captured this with my 8″ RASA scope, AM5 Mount, ASI 294mc Camera, ASI Air in Auto-run, 44 x 60 seconds, plus calibration frames taken on 09-27-2025, at my observatories at JBSPO in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
