Comet 10P/Tempel has a very prominent dust trail and it is a rare opportunity to photograph such a feature. Its ion tail is also visible, to the right and below the dust trail. At around mag 8.5, the comet can be observed with large binoculars, in Capricorn. #cometWatch #astrophotography

Comet 10P/Tempel is slowly approaching Earth (not very closely though) this summer and now shines at around mag 10. It has an almost stellar nucleus and a extended coma (about 11 arcminutes). It lies at the Capricorn-Aquarius border, moving southwards. #cometWatch #astrophotography

The otherwise dim periodic comet 220P/McNaught experience a large outburst last week, reaching around mag 9, becoming the brightest comet in the sky. It has a nice green coma and a short dust tail. #cometWatch #astrophotography

There is a #supernova in the beautiful edge-on galaxy NGC 5907, the Splinter Galaxy. SN 2026kid, although not particularly bright (mag 15.5), is well placed in the sky for the northern hemisphere. #astrophotography

👀💫PANSTARRS or Comet C/2025 R3 seen by 🛰 GOES19 instrument CCOR-1 Footage: 2026.04.22 - 25 ccor.nrl.navy.mil/realtime-movie Btw, I removed the very bright sequences from the original footage.

Comet MAPS may have not survived, but C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) is putting on a show in the early hours sky. As of 8 April 2026, it has grown a long ion tail, and there are hints of a dust tail and is visible with large binoculars. Perihelion is on 11 days. #cometWatch #astrophotography

Today comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS) reaches its fiery perihelion. You can follow its progress in space coronographs like SOHO and CCOR1. ccor.nrl.navy.mil/ccor_realtim... soho.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtim... I hope it survives! #cometWatch

Comet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) on 29 March 2026, finally, after nearly two cloudy weeks. It is about mag 7.5 and has developed a nice long ion tail. It will continue to brighten up to mid April, when it will pass between Earth and the Sun. #cometwatch #astrophotography

Periodic comet Schaumasse, this time with a dedicated astrocamera. The comet features and exteded fainter coma and a rather short dust tail. The comet is located in Serpens Caput and is moving away both from the Sun and the Earth. #cometwatch #astrophotography

My first decent image of C/2026 A1 (MAPS). Located rather low for northern latitudes, it may become briefly very bright in early April as it plunges next to the Sun. Currently around mag 11, with condensed nucleus, round coma and hint of tail. #cometwatch #astrophotography

Finally managed to image C/2024 E1 (Wierzchos), located low, at the southwest horizon. The bright ion tail of the previous week has become quite dim. The comet features a green coma and a dust tail. #cometWatch #astrophotography

Comet C/2024 E1 is currently a southern object, but from this week it will start being visible from the north temperate latitudes as well low at the southwest after sunset. Interesting dust tails structure. #cometWatch

C/2024 E1 Wierzchos crossing Sculptor at mag 7. A narrow ion tail extends over 5° accompanied by three distinct dust tails. Comet appears in the same field as the galaxy NGC 300, highlighting the contrast between Solar System and extragalactic structure. ℹ️ cometografia.es/2024e1-wierz... #astronomy

C/2026 B2 (Sun-Gao) was discovered by amateur astronomers Guoyou Sun and Xing Gao on January 19 and lies low in the morning sky before dawn. It is diffuse, with a coma 2' across, and a bit faint, around mag 14. #cometWatch #astrophotography

Quite dim right now, C/2026 A1 (MAPS), formely 6AC4721, may become very bright in April, if it survives its extremely close approach to the Sun. #cometWatch

Possible Kreutz #comet 6AC4721 as imaged earlier today (Jan. 18) with iTelescope's 0.51m CDK (T30) at Siding Spring Observatory (Q62). This one might(!) become interesting around April of this year. #cometobs

What an interesting year for comets 2025 turned out to be. After a daylight comet in January, a large gap in even slightly bright comets until an outburst in autumn, including a bright interstellar comet. Happy new year! I wish you the best for 2026! #cometWatch

A quick view of comet 24P/Schaumasse in the vicinity of spiral galaxy Messier 100, from Christmas night, despite the light rain. The comet appears trailed, as it has moved a couple arcminutes in the span of the 40 minutes the data were acquired. More in ALT. #cometWatch #astrophotography #astronomy

Comet 24P/Schaumasse, at mag 10, is the brightest comet in the Christmas night sky. It is currently crossing the upper half of the Virgo Cluster, passing near many galaxies, like M100 and M91. It has a round green coma and a faint ion tail. #cometWatch #astrophotography

A fairwell to #3I/ATLAS, the interstellar visitor, as now it is moving away both from the Sun and Earth. It has dimmed to about mag 12 and has a tail pointing towards the Sun. It will continue getting dimmer and won't be visible in just a few months. #cometWatch #astrophotography

Comet 210P/Christensen re-appeared in the late night sky after passing between Earth and the Sun in late November. It was around mag 10 had a faint tail about 12' long. #cometWatch #astrophotography

As the weather is bad here the last week, this is comet C/2025 K1 from 20 days ago, when its nucleus had split in three (bigger telescope needed to get a nice separation between the three pieces). Pseudochrome image to better highlight the nuclear region. #cometWatch #astrophotography

Comet 240P/NEAT has now a small fragment (B) that is bright enough to be seen with modest telescopes. The nucleus shines at about mag 12 while B is two magnitudes fainter. #cometWatch #astrophotography

Interstellar #comet #3I/ATLAS in the early hours of November 20 as seen from Crete, as the weather was favorable. A faint ion tail and anti-tail can be seen as the comet is past perihelion. Nothing out of the ordinary but cool to see such a bright interstellar object. #cometWatch

A new comet, C/2025 T1 (ATLAS), was discovered earlier in October and it has brightened rapidly in just two weeks. Now it is around mag 11, has a round coma 4' and a short tail. It is near M101, in Ursa Major. Perihelion is in about a month, at 1.11 AU. #cometWatch

Against all odds, C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) has survived perihelion, which was at Mercury's orbit. The comet has emerged in the dawn sky and features a long ion tail, more than a degree long, with a distinct reddish color (contrary to the usual blue). #CometWatch

Comet Lemmon on 23 October, showing a very active and turbulent ion tail. Slightly different processing to not burn the nucleus. More info in alt. #cometWatch #astronomy #astrophotography #space

Comet Lemmon is hands down the third best comet of the last 10 years for the northern hemisphere. As easy with the naked eye as the Andromeda Galaxy, with a hint of tail 2-3 degrees long from dark skies! Unfortunately clouds were present at the direction of the comet. #cometWatch #astronomy

Comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN) passing near the Eagle Nebula on 17 October 2025, around 18:30 UTC. Nice pair visually through 8x50 binoculars. The comet is near its closest approach to Earth, at a distance of 39 million km. #cometWatch #astrophotography #space

Back to comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) today before dawn. What a development in 10 days. The tail barely fits in the lovely Samyang 135mm lens FOV. Sunflower and Croc's Eye galaxies are visible too. #cometWatch #astrophotography

A nice clear sky helped me photograph comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) on 1 October 2025. The ion tail is becoming brighter and full of streamers and the dust tail grows. #cometWatch #astrophotography
