Two comets on the same night! 2020/03/22
It was following a call for help from a friend on the astronomy forum that I emerged from a certain winter slumber.
For the past few months, the observatory has been buried under snow. There have been sporadic spectral observations for monitoring Betelgeuse since January, but because some parts are missing and currently being machined, it's not yet fully operational, and many monitoring projects are on hold.
But in the meantime, why not have some fun!

ATLAS (C/2019 Y1), PANSTARRS (2017 T2) and ATLAS (C/2019 Y4)
À 17:30 je suis dans l'observatoire, mais déjà, C/2019 Y1 est trop basse , derrière la montagne et elle n'est pas accessible.
Mais il en reste deux!
