73P-C/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3
73P-B/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3
Sketches by Kiminori Ikebe
Two years ago, comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann put on a memorable show for observers. The two brightest components of the fragmented comet had reached 6th magnitude and were separated by about 9 degrees when Kiminori Ikebe sketched them on the night of April 30, 2006.
Mr. Ikebe,
These are great drawings of a memorable comet breakup.

Very impressive sketches of a very enjoyable comet treat. Nice work.
