Description
On the morning of 31st May 2006 I had the opportunity to image these two beautiful comet fragments of Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3. It was a wonderful sight to see two comets in the same field of view and this memorable sight will stay with me forever. I used a Canon 20Da with a Canon 200mm f/2.8 piggybacked on a GEM mount. Total exposure was approx 21 minutes @ 1600 ISO (17 sub frames) stacked using Registar with Levels and Curves in Photoshop.
