Image of comet C/2019 U6 (Lemmon) taken on May 12, 2020. In one month its brightness has risen from magnitude 10.5 to 8, its coma has increased angular size from 3' to 7', and begun to emit a faint ionic tail that, with more than half a degree of length, leaves image field towards southeast.

Comet C/2019 U6 Lemmon imaged on June 8, 2020 with a brightness at magnitude 6.5 and an ionic tail of at least 2 degrees long (the angular size covered by four moons). The image has a 4x4 degree field with the comet located on the background of tens of thousands stars of the Milky Way in the constellation Puppis (Argo Navis).
