C/2007 Q3 Sliding Springs has split

After Danilo's image and Martijn's comment I had to give it a try.
Clouds were a problem but I got 40 minutes of L data in 2 minute subs.
I used short subs as I didn't want to lose too much if clouds totally
cut me off. This was taken about 9 hours UTC on March 21, 2010 with my
trusty 14" LX200R. I've attached two images, one the full image and the
other a 2x crop. They have been processed to show the two pieces which
has caused the tail to be rather faint, though the clouds and fog I was
imaging through had lot to do with its faintness as well.
