Two comets in the sky

At night fall and close to each other visible in Binos and naked eye (if at a very dark site) are two comets. Comet Holmes is still up at bright enought to see from Payson with unaided eye and a newer one is comet Tuttle. Which flew by a galaxy this last week. So if you are camping out, back packing or just out after dark check it out.

Neat! Thanks for the "heads up", so to speak...
