a broken comet

[tornado33]

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

Thanks. Gee Im gad I got the shot, weather is horrible now. The comet/s are due to move further south I think in a week or 2 I will be able to get them with my 10 inch scope, but as that is off axis guided I may be better to use my 6 inch scope, or Bert's 300mm lens which I use a separate guidescope, the comet looks beight enough to guide on.

Well done Scott, they're great shots. And btw, welcome to the solar system forum

Terrific shot Scott.....you have done well mate.

Having 2 comets in the same frame makes it 4 times a better image...work that one out...lol

Thanks all
Ive not had the change to get images of many comets since getting into digital SLR imaging. Im stoked to get a 2 in 1 shot.
