Mother of the Perseids

Comet Swift-Tuttle
Sketch and Details by Per-Jonny Bremseth

Hey!

Send you, “comet Swift-Tuttle, the Perseides mother”.

This comet is associated with the famous meteorstream
Perseides, which will peak at maximum 12. august each year.
Comet Swift-Tuttle was seen as a bright comet in 1862 and
returned in 1992. The comet was also perhaps the same as the
one observed in 1737 (Kegler).
I was happy to observe the comet. It was active with structures
of Jets.
I made this drawing with Crayons (water colours) on black paper
(not inverted).
The seeng and the atmospheric quality was very good.
more info on my drawing!

The observation was done 6 km outside Trondheim city, Norway.

Best wishes from Per-Jonny Bremseth.
