Went out looking for C/2025 R2 (SWAN) tonight.
Eh. Not currently worth it (unless you have serious equipment).
This is one of my shots of it. 5 seconds, 65mm (more zoom would obviously have been better, but the stars were almost invisible with all the light pollution and bright moon so hard to get it in frame at higher zoom), F5.6 (not sure I can get any better out of that lens), ISO5000.
You can see it as a little fuzzy green line at the bottom. The bright stars at the top are the Alpha Librae (Zubenelgenubi) binary stars.
This was another one with a plane in it for fun
Maybe if it gets any brighter I could have another go and take out the 24-105 which is a brighter lens.
I did get a great shot of the moon though!
