This comet was discovered on January 3, 2025. It is heading toward perihelion in November so it is moving quickly relative to the stars. It will soon be lost to view as it goes behind the sun but will (hopefully) re-appear in the evening sky (right now it’s visible in the early morning sky.

It’s not visible to the unaided eye but many should be able to find it with binoculars. I’d tell you where to look but it’s changing rapidly so best to use an app or website that can show you where to look at any specific time. I did not succeed at finding it with binoculars but I’ve seen reports from others that did so it’s definitely doable.

This was done with a little ZWO SeeStar S30 which is a small, low resolution smart telescope. I do urge you to look on astrobin for some spectacular photos made with better optics and cameras that his little scope provides. For the technical details on this image, see astrobin.

The following video is an animation showing the movement of the comet across the sky during the 1h 53m of time that subexposures were captures.
