Meeting of two comets tonite - over Austria

Two pictures from Austria from the evening of 6 February 2023 of the conjunction between the comets C/2022 E3 (ZTF) and much fainter C/2022 U2 (ATLAS). Gerald Rhemann writes about the top picture: "This was the closest approach which I imaged at UT 20h42m | Location: Eichgraben, Lower Austria | Telescope: ASA Astrograph 12" f 3.6 | Camera: Moravian C3 61000 | Mount: ASA DDM 85 | Exposure time: LRGB 8/4/4/4 min." And Michael Jäger says about the bottom one: "C/2022 E3 and C/2022 U2 2022 feb. 6 17.40 UT RGB 150/150/150sec 12"/4 QHY600".
