Details:
Two Comets in the one photo - as seen from Sherkin Island, West Cork, Ireland, on Oct 24th (at 9.38pm). Included are two inset pictures of the Comets to show more detail.

I finally got clear skies in the evening time to get this wide shot (using a 14mm lens) looking out over Silver Strand with both Comet SWAN (C/2025 R2) and Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) faintly visible.

A single image, cropped slighty, taken with a Nikon D800 with camera settings of 30 second exposure, f/2.8 and ISO 2500.

The two inset pictures were taken an hour previously with a Nikon D800 and a 500mm lens, with camera settings of 3 second exposure, f/4 and ISO 12800. Both Comets (in the inset images) are at the same scale as each other.

In post-processing: all images had only slight increases in exposure.
