About this image

This is almost an optical illusion as this is two close-up sets of images of the same comet on the same night taken immediately after each other of bright and fast moving comet C/2023 H2 Lemmon but looking like there are two comets in the same star field due to the star alignments. I had to run at 15 seconds per image to avoid the comet moving too fast for the images.
