At a distance of 5.8 AU that is a good catch. Doesn't look like that comet will be back any time soon. Dennis if you or anyone gets a chance I would like to...
Hi Mike, I don't think I'll be able to image C/2003 T4 LINEAR from my northern Illinois site. At darkness, it is only 24.8 degrees above the horizon and...
Comet has continued to improve and now shows a good tail disconnect event. Strong spikes or streaks from the south side of comet. Image is 74x56 arc-min....
Comet Q4 has decreased quite a bit in the last couple of weeks. Still shows two tails but the length is much less. This is a 420 sec. image with N up. 74x56...
At 4.51 AU from Earth this was a tough comet for a 4" scope. This image is a 420sec exp and the comet sits next to a dim star. I have inverted the image and...
I imaged comet C2003 K4 LINEAR the other night and produced a short movie illustrating its relative motion of 2.9 arc seconds per minute against a star field...
Hello all, Sorry about the tardiness, I've posted an image of C/2002 T7 LINEAR, CCD image on Jun 27.39UT. 10x10 second exposures. FOV 13'x19'. Note the...
We placed a Schmidt-picture- combination of comet LINEAR K4 to our webpage, which documents the taildevelopement within two days. Michael and Gerald ...
Greetings! Decent imaging for a while last night. Was able to put a RGBL together which shows the comet still showing nice color. Three small galaxies at...
Last image from the 15th. This is a combination of 600 sec of exposure. The image was pushed a little trying to bring out some of the fainter parts that...
Hi Stefan, I am having a hard time identifying 48P/Johnson in gallery. The first image has both vertical and horizontal guide lines that seem to converge to...
Hi Dennis, Both pictures have two guidelines? By comparing the region of the included Palomar images with the guideline area I could persuade myself that...
... Hmmm, I see no problem with identyfing the comet using Palomar images. Both images have two guide lines and the comet is right there where it should ...
... Hi Dennis, both images have guide lines. Sometimes directly within the image. The nomenclature says Schmidtcamera 8" f/300. I have edited this and I can...
Hi Stefan, My confusion arises from non-standard nomenclature: Generally f/ denotes focal ratio and fl denotes focal length. An f/300 scope is clearly not a...
Hi Dennis, ... You are right. I will make this clearer next time. I thought it is clear while writing Schmidtcamera in the description. Take care, Stefan...
Greetings. Put together a two-part mosaic from the 21st. Each frame is 300 sec. There is also a negative. The image shows about 130 arc- min of tail. Two...
Hi, last night I made an image of K4 with my MX7c CCD and a 135 mm camera lens. I wanted to do a close up with my C8 but then the clouds rolled in again. This...

Eric. I don't know if the tail has grown in the past week or if my seeing was just better at the time of these images. I would suspect it has increased but...
Hi List, I have updated the image gallery of the german comet section. There are new images of C/2003 T4 LINEAR, 78P/Gehrels 2, 42P/Neujmin 3 and C/2003 K4...
Hi, I tried to image comet 2003 G1 LINEAR last week and couldn't find it up to 18mag. Did anybody imaged it during the last 2 weeks ? -- Stefan Beck ...
... Hello Stefan, I upload an image of C/2003 G1 (LINEAR) obtained on July 19.0, 2004 in the "Photos" area of this mailing-list's homepage. it seems that the...
I didn't see any hint of blue just light polution. Image of C/2003 K4. N is up and the fov is 74x56 arc-min. 5x60 sec exp with the 4" at F5.3 Hope the sky...
