The air was calm and the temperature was about 31° F at 4:30 am MST on 02 Nov. The 11.1-d gibbous moon had already set about an hour and a half earlier. There was very strong green airglow above the southern horizon.
The next three images were obtained with an Olympus E-M1iii camera and a Leica 9mm f/1.7 lens with a Hoya Sparkle-6 filter.
The bright star near the top of the last two images is the planet Jupiter, currently the brightest "star" in the night sky at magnitude −2.3.
The previous evening (01 Nov), Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) was showing no sign of the intense solar storm that hit it on Halloween evening, 31 Oct. The tail was once again smooth.
