Default Comet 73P - a tight fit!

Hi all,

After a very confusing night with comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann on
Wednesday, I finally figured out that the comet I'd found was in fact
both of the brighter fragments B & C. A bit of investigative work then
led to the conclusion that they should just fit in my widefield scope
setup - they are about 4 degrees apart by my reckoning. So here they
are...

Not the most beautiful of image but I'm just happy to have got them on
the same telescopic frame.

I concur with Jim. Nice work, Pete.
