Hey sketchers!

This time I send you an old but interesting observation of a break-up of
nucleus in three parts. This was the bright and splended comet West (1976).
In 50x magn., I could only see a streak in the bright coma, but with power of
166x, I could see the splitting parts of 7. to 8. mag.. Info on the sketch.
I look foreward to comet ISON, but I hope it will survive the perihel!!

location: Trondheim, Norway.
I used watercolor crayons on black paper.

Best wishes and clear sky from Per-Jonny Bremseth.
