a broken comet

Howdy
The broken comet Swatchmann Wachmann 3 is too far north to get with my scope but I set up my camera on a fixed tripod and took 30 x 8 sec 50mm lens F1.8 exposures, ISO 400 at 5 am, then back to bed. Ive just processed them, this is a crop from the image, moon was at the edge of the frame and is cropped out. I thought Id get one fragment, didnt think Id get 2. This is the first time in my life Ive imaged 2 comets in one image
