Visual observation of C/2006 P1 (McNaught)   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #11114 of 16102 |
Hi All,

I caught this comet visually on Dec 26.65, unfortunately I found just

several seconds as small, condensed object, comparable to zeta Scuti:

Dec. 26.65 UT: m1=4.5: Dia=30", DC=8...20cm L (38x)...Piotr Guzik
