So, here’s the comet. I don’t usually do comets, but I was in the neighborhood (Orion-ish) and thought, why not.
Well, why not is that I don’t know how to track comets, and didn’t even think about it, and used my regular imaging routine while I was in that headspace, and now the comet has two cores.
But this is the comet, both of it.
