Comet C/2025 F2 SWAN: an extreme image – 1 May 2025
We captured a truly extreme image of comet C/2025 F2 SWAN, after its disintegration and with just a few dust still visible. Here we present our picture.
C/2025 F2 SWAN: 1 May 2025.
The image above comes from the average of 18, 30-second exposures, remotely taken with the ARTEC250+Paramount ME+C3Pro61000EC robotic unit available as part of the Virtual Telescope Project facility in Manciano, Italy. The telescope tracked the comet while imaging. The object was just 6 degrees above the NE horizon, in bright twilight. A faint smudge of light is visible.
We will try to observe it again, if the viewing condition will allow this.
