April 12, 2026

Unfiltered false color image of comet C/2025 R3 (PANSTARRS), obtained on 2026 Apr. 12 (2h57-3h06 UT) with 60-cm, f/3.3 Deltagraph telescope and CMO. Exposure time was 5 minutes (10x30 seconds). Image scale is 1.46 arc sec/pixel. The comet was only about 15 degrees above the horizon. Copyright © 2026 by H. Mikuz, Crni Vrh Observatory.

Unfiltered false color image of comet C/2025 R3 (PANSTARRS), obtained on 2026 Apr. 7 (3h00-3h23 UT) with 60-cm, f/3.3 Deltagraph telescope and CMO. Exposure time was 15 minutes (30x30 seconds). Image scale is 1.46 arc sec/pixel. The comet was only 15 degrees above the horizon. The images were taken through the branches of a beech tree, which acted as a Bahtinov mask (see diffraction patterns of bright stars). Copyright © 2026 by H. Mikuz, Crni Vrh Observatory.
