Details:
Four comets visible in the same night and all shot with a Seestar S50. Scale is the same on all.
PANSTARRS is showing a bit of a tail and growing brighter (9- degrees above a murky horizon).
MAPS is brighter and showing a core, but may be due to the murky horizon.
Schaumasse shows a good diameter, and is high in the sky and not affected by the murky horizon.
Wierzchos also still has a bit of a size to it and is moving higher in the sky, but is fading drastically.
Attempted to find Howell but was too low and likely below the mountains in the distance.
Keep watching A1 and R3 for a better showing this April!
