Two comets in the West

I really enjoyed the view March 2nd, with both comets within binocular sweeping distance of each other.

Lemmon's tail was fainter than the previous night due to the disconnection event recorded by Justin, Phil and others. You can make it out in this 24mm cropped view... there is a distinct gap between old and new tails.

Settings: 24mm (cropped), iso 3200, f/2.5, 20 seconds, 8:15 pm WST

Another winner Colin!

This has a feel like it's on the shores of another planet.

Cheers,

Justin.

Very "otherworldly" indeed! Can't wait to see it in motion in your timelapses.
