This October, we get a rare cosmic gift: two comets in the same month!
✨ Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) will be at its best around mid-October. With a brightness of magnitude 2.5–4, it could even be visible to the naked eye if you’re under a dark sky.
✨ Comet SWAN (C/2025 R2) will pass closest to Earth around October 20, 2025, reaching a magnitude of about 5.8—perfect to spot with binoculars or in excellent viewing conditions.
On this outing, I’ll guide you through a comet-chasing adventure: where to look, how to observe, and even how to capture them in photos. Whether you’re new to astronomy or already a sky explorer, this night will add a touch of magic to your autumn.

Your guide
Hi, I'm Samer from Zenderfull. I'm a self-taught photographer specializing in capturing celestial landscapes. I combine my passion for astronomy and the outdoors with my expertise in photography to create unforgettable guided outings under starry skies.
I'm Lebanese-Canadian, and since arriving in Montreal in 2016, I've been scouring Quebec for the most auspicious locations to bring you along with me to capture dazzling images of the starry sky including the Milky Way and the Northern Lights.
Zenderfull is a compound word that means Zen & Wonderful, and it's the feeling I get when I'm outside observing the magic of the stars.
What participants say
« I had an absolute blast with Zenderfull on a night hike that I’ll never forget. As someone who’s obsessed with nature and the night sky, I had tried for years to catch the Aurora Borealis in Quebec without much luck. Then I found Zenderfull, and things got real. His Aurora chasing trip was like hitting the jackpot of stargazing. His knowledge was so impressive it felt like he had a direct line to the universe. 😂 »
« It was a great experience. Everything was perfect and I highly recommend. Totally worth it!
The instruction/directions for the astronomy hike were clear. We were given snacks and drinks for the hike. Samer had everything that was needed in case someone had forgot something (lamps, hiking poles, insect repellant, etc).
Samer gave a lot of information about astronomy during the hike which made it super interesting. »
« I had fun with my first hiking night experience with the organizer Samer under the stars sky. And thanks again for finding my glasses. Much appreciated! »

Aurora hunting requires a lot of research to find a place where the aurora is visible and the weather is clear. This is why the address is only communicated by e-mail. Please do not share this address with anyone, as my aim is to provide you with an unforgettable experience, which is why there are only a few places available for this trip.
