Hi all, According to MPEC-P07: http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/mpec/K07/K07P07.html 108P was recovered on 24/07/2007 by Ernesto and Giovanni and confirmed by our...
Dear colleagues, P/1990 V1 (Shoemaker-Levy 1) must be brightening rapidly, and is expected to be already bright as 16 mag or so. Although it is not observable...
I've just sent some recovery positions to the MPC for 46P Wirtanen (subject to their confirmation, of course!) Offset from prediction was +2.2' in RA, and...
Seiichi and all, ... further information available here: http://tinyurl.com/2a42um Regards, Sebastian -- ... Sebastian F. Hoenig Max-Planck-Institut fuer...
Hi Dave, what a coincidence! I've just submitted to the MPC "my recovery" of this comet in two nights (Aug. 04 & 05). I confirm exactly your offsets and...
Our observations are now reported on MPEC 2007-P16.... It will be interesting to see how this comet brightens - whether it reaches m1 of 9 as listed in the MPC...
Carey, ... because JPL has not adopted Sebastians link (published in A&A, see the preprint link on Seiichi's site) and treats both as different comets. This...
Hi Dave, usually I'm more confident for comet magnitude predictions looking at Yoshida website. In this case, his prediction are very close to that of the...
Hi Luca, ... Because its orbital elements have been improved, probably due to the significant offset from the initial prediction (delta-T = $B!\(B0.08 day). ...

Hi Filip, Hi All Yes, we confirm that we have recovered 108P/Ciffreo on July 24.44 by means of a 0.25m, f/3.4 reflector + CCD (remotely, near Mayhill, NM). ...
Dear Dave, et al., ... First off, congratulations on the recovery! ... I have observed this comet visually at m1 ~10-11 on each of the previous four returns,...
G'Day Alan, Has this comet ever been known to be brighter than mag 9 or so? Cheers! Chris W Walcha, NSW, Australia ... From: comets-ml@yahoogroups.com...
Dear Chris, ... About the brightest I've ever measured it is m1 ~9.5 -- some of the other observers may have gotten it slightly brighter. Based upon what it's...
Using the elements from Table 3, I've made an orbit diagram for the predicted 2007 passage. http://www.geocities.com/quarkcsj/P1999R1.html a very unfortunate...
Hi all, for those who have not already noticed I'd like to mention that there are now some more or less recent papers and articles available as pdf files. It...
Dear all, recently (Aug. 05) I've observed this comet (congratulations even if in delay to Quanzhi) and I've noted a possible short and faint tail extending...
My last observations were on July 25. I've restacked all 6 images, but there is no sign of any structure. Just a neat almost-stellar object. Dave Herald ...
Comet Broughton C/2006 OF2 Still another faint comet, but this one shouldn't stay that way. It's currently over 13 months away from perihelion (only the third...
I was observing Comet 93P Lovas 1 on the morning of Aug 9 I took 4 images about 30 minutes apart. Canary Island, 14inch SCT F6, SBIG ST-10XME CCD In the 3rd...
... Hi Tony, I don't know if I can help you: I have photographed the comet last night, http://comete.uai.it/comete/93P_070809_2259TU_5x180s.jpg but the sky was...
Tony, I think the same as Maciej, some reflections of a star just outside your FOV. It's nearly impossible that a comet would show an outburst like that in...
Hello Tony, ... what did you image between the second and third image? Was there another bright star at that pixel position? To me it looks like an RBI ...
