If you cannot get NEOWISE, go for a Lemmon

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

On Friday August 7 I made a brief attempt at getting former asteroid, now comet A/2019 U6 (Lemmon). Using the same Sigma 50-100mm F/1.8 zoom, under the same (if not worse) conditions, I got 20 subs of 30 s at full aperture, and got this result (heavily cropped)

Lo and behold, just above and to the right of Mufrid (bright star in centre) a little, ever so slightly greenish bit of fuzz can be seen, in the exact spot where the comet should be. That makes my thirtieth comet. I haven't spotted it visually yet, hopefully I will get a chance.
