A 3 comet night

A three comet night. From August 11 2020 around 7:30EST (0930UT).
Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) with thin ion tail and broad dust fan, Comet C/2017 T2 PANSTARRS) and 2019 U6 (LEMMON) both with curved little dust tails.

GSO 10" F4 Newtonian, Full Spectrum Canon 1100D, 40x20, 30x20, 30x20 secs respectively. Interestingly, I left the camera orientation the same for all shots.
