Hi all, on 2006, Nov. 30.11 we measured C/2006 W3 (Christensen): we found it at R~ 18.1 +/- 0.2 (0.45m rflector + CCD); this is a bit brighter compared to the...
... This is an interesting result, but I want to make clear that with the systematic measurement of m1 from short exposures with the Uppsala Schmidt (not m2 or...

P.S. I forgot to mention that Michael's data has been obtained on a number of nights, with a combination of two different CCD's and scopes. Giovanni ... Passa...

Hi Robert, the data reduction method used is the same for both data sets. The difference, as you pointed out, is mainly in the equipment, and in the parameters...
I was wondering if Seiichi Yoshida is okay, he hasn't updated his website since November 18th. Maybe he's just out hunting down comets and too busy to update...
Thank you for posting, I notice that the last afrho values for P1 are close to double 2002 V1 at the same distance from the sun. I hope that trend continues...
Hi Robert and all, I obtained an additional observation from Antonio Milani. This further data point has been inserted on the graph I posted yesterday: ...
Addendum: I insert in the plot also the Log (Afrho) values Vs. heliocentric distances (black data points): http://tinyurl.com/yhnko3 I think that this display...
Dear Mark S Deprest, ... Execuse me. I had been too busy, not because hunting or observing comets, but because of my job... Anyway, today I updated most of my...
Dear colleagues, Very bright supernova 2006mq, still bright as 13 mag even 40 days after the maximum, was extremely close by Comet C/2005 EL173 ( LONEOS ) on...
Dears Sirs: I send the information about the II INTERNATIONAL "ASTRONOMICAL IMAGE" 2006 AWARD from the Agrupación Astronómica de Gran Canaria. Spain. We are...
Hi all, thanks to Mike Holloway, I inserted a further data point in the C/2006 P1 lightcurve. Expecially the last couple of observations (A. Milani and M....
Hello. I understand this is subject to change but I can get a better perspective of how an object is moving looking at this animation. It looks at this time...

When I saw the image of C/2006 P1 at only 18 degrees elongation, I couldn't help but notice on the ephemeris that its elongation isn't going to get much below...
Phil, After my previous magnitude estimate ( 9.1, November 16th ), I´m still going on trying to observe C/2006 P1 in twilight ( weather permitting ). If the...
What is the best location/latitude from which this is visible currently? It seems that it's still visible and being imaged by some members here, inspite of...
Its going to favour people at higher Northern latitudes as the comet moves more north of the sun. ALthough its only 16 or less degrees from the sun a few...
Thanks a lot Terry for replying. Hmm..deep in twilight, that's going to be fun and challenging, hunting it down for the northern observers! Some more questions...
Amar, ... Unfortunately there aren't any formulae... Usually the tail is much longer and brighter for comets with small perihelion distance and with high...
Yes but relative to the sun it is moving into a more northerly aspect, towards solar conjunction. Its the relative declination of the comet to the sun, and...
... Last month I gave a listing of optimum latitudes for visibility of C/2006 P1 at nautical twilight. Given that the comet appears to continue its unusually...
