A pair of comets - 260P/McNaught and C/2018 N2 Assan


Recommended Posts

For a long time I have fancied capturing two comets in the same frame.  Unfortunately,  I didn't realise that these two were contenders until the camera had nearly warmed up at 2:30 am (on 8th Sept).  So, please forgive the quality - (there are hot pixels and some black bits).  The gif is 9 x 120s exposures, and spans about 20 minutes.  Both comets were moving slowly.  I'm very pleased that some tails are just about visible.

The lower comet is 260P McNaught, and the upper one is C/2018 N2 (ASSAN).
