C/2019 U6 (Lemmon) 15th June

[Retrograde (Pete)]

I managed to image this last Monday evening from my backyard here in Sydney. It's not as bright and spectacular as comet Swan was, but still pretty decent (although I wasn't able to pick it up in 7 x 50 binoculars given the bortle 7/8 skies here.
This is a stack of 42 x 55 second subs taken through the MN190 with a Pentax K-5iis DSLR and using a newly acquired Optolong L-Pro filter.
What a year it has been for comets so far!

Good catch considering it's from Sydney skies. hope to get some images next Monday if the weather co-operates. Have been following its progress for a week or so now and can spot it in 15 X 70 binos despite Bortle 5 skies here.

Thanks Jeff. This was a 'quick and dirty' processing job really - will have to revisit it at some stage when I've got more time.

I always admire you comet catchers and this image of yours is very nice.

Which constellation is this comet in?

Thanks Ross!
It's in Hydra at a pretty decent altitude after sunset.
