Scraps from last night

 Last night I was able to get in only one shot of Comet Lemmon with the AT80EDT refractor before it set behind the Bristol Head ridgeline.  A second shot showed only the tail:

Tail of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon).  AT80EDT refractor.

The comet is past peak brightness, but without the moon it still shows a nice tail in photographs.

After the comet sank out of sight I turned the telescope to the open star cluster M23 in Sagittarius:

 M23 is just one cluster among many in this densely populated section of the Milky Way.  Here is a finder chart for context:

 After the star cluster, the dwarf-planet Pluto was a good target:

Here is an image from 16 Oct with about the same FOV, taken with a 135mm f/2 lens:

Comparison of the two images reveals how much Pluto has moved with respect to the background stars over three weeks.  Pluto is currently about magnitude 14.6 in the constellation Capricornus.
