Comet 322P/SOHO is in perihelium this coming August 31st.
SkySafari 6 Pro shows 2 giant comet tails. One for 322P/SOHO and one for 322P/SOHO().
When I turn off ‘Horizon and Sky’ in Settings it looks like an apocalypse will occur :)
I guess this is some kind of bug?

  I'm seeing three comets with virtually the same orbit:

  322P/SOHO, 322P/SOHO(), and P/1999 R1 (SOHO)

  I can't say that I know what that means, but just thought I'd mention it.

  (I wish there was a way to toggle the comet tail display on and off when it obscures the surrounding details.)
