Default 2 comets in one shot tonight ?

Anyone with a large aperture scope viewing comet Machholz tonight 01/01/2005
?

My computer program is telling me Comet Machholz ( 0.35AU distant) and comet
NEAT 163P (1.1AU distant) are as little as 1' 38" angular separation circa
1640 UTC , i.e. Comet NEAT 163P will actually be seen through comet
Machholz.

Could be an interesting photograph for anyone with a clear sky and equipment
capable ?
Not something I can manage here;- but maybe I will try to catch Comet
Machholz and asteroid Sappho (mag 10.2 ) circa 23hrs at 45 arc minutes
apart.

Anthony
