Now a degree apart, this spectacular duo just fit in the 1.5 degree field of my 10 inch f/3.9 astrograph. Taken at the zenith, this 2 hour exposure shows 19th magnitude galaxies and stars to 20th magnitude. The comet is currently at mag 11.1 and surprisingly has a stunning teal green coloration. Only a faint hint of a fan tail was seen.

The bright edge on galaxy seen in the center is NGC5263 which is magnitude 14.0
