Hello Francois. ... Thanks for your follow-up. You are right: currently we cannot rule out either hypothesis. I think that in the next weeks the situation will...
Hi Nicolas: USB memory stick can be used~ If you want to give a presentation, I think you'd better talk with Dan Green. He will arrange your presentations. ...
Hello all, I noted that the angular elements of NEA 2009 MC9 orbit are similar to those of lost comet D/1884 O1 (Barnard). D/1884 O1 (according to Kinoshita;...
Dimitry, ... there is no chance of these two objects being related. It is just an accidental coincidence. Cheers, Maik -- If they give you ruled paper, write...
Hi Don, The group hasn't been down -- there probably just hasn't been too much to talk about lately. We've had the recent full moon, of course, and while I ...
Hi Alan, Thanks, I was preparing a "Comet Report" for the Houston Astronomical Society monthly meeting, and noticed that there hadn't been any posts for...
Hi at all, at this address http://comete.uai.it/comete/22P_090719.jpg I have inserted my latest image of the comet 22P I find it interesting thin tail, visible...
I have a question to comet photometrists, Which generally accesible software (preferrably freeware) can remove stars from coma? I did not find software PCVISTA...
Hello, In the same way as Gustavo say... Focas II can "delete" the stars if they are catalogued in the reference catalog used, Works with USNA-A2.0 and CMC-14...
Dear colleagues, Any recent recovery trials of P/2004 X1 (LINEAR) and P/2003 A1 (LINEAR)? http://www.aerith.net/comet/recovery.html Best regards, -- Seiichi...
Dear Seiichi, ... I tried for P/2004 X1 in mid-June, covering the LOV for +/- 0.75 day. The limit was around 19.5. The field was very crowded, and nothing...
Hello colleagues! I try to find P/2004 X1 on June 12, 15 and July 13. The covering LOV about +/- 1 day and mag. limit about 18.5m Best regards, Leonid Elenin, ...
Targeted P/2004 X1 (LINEAR) tonight with the 0.5-m Uppsala Schmidt. Nothing found to mag 20.5V (asteroidal) +/- 1.7 days from nominal. The region around P/2004...

Any possibility of this being the missing 85P/Boethin? Cheers! Chris W ... From: comets-ml@yahoogroups.com [mailto:comets-ml@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Maik...
This impact event was discovered by Anthony Wesley, an amateur using a 14" scope specially designed for high resolution planetary imaging. His page showing the...
... Yes, but I think the line "Following up on a tip by an amateur astronomer, Anthony Wesley of Australia," is still understating Anthony's discovery....
Now that we have witnessed two impact events on Jupiter within a 15 year span, how about the past 400 years? Have any historical observations of similar impact...
I think a fundamental problem is that the ability to detect events like that just detected by Anthony is relatively recent. That is, I think the past record of...
Perry, I investigated this very question shortly after SL-9 impacts and did a paper on this in the ALPO Journal (Vol. 38, N.4 Jan.1996, p.149-152) using the...
There is one thing I would like to add. Maybe the impacts are not over with. It took several days for all of SL-9's pieces to strike Jupiter in 1994. What if...
It would also be interesting to do a careful examination of any wide-field images including Jupiter or nearby regions taken in recent nights. Maybe someone,...

Reiner, I think the likelihood is that the object was asteroidal in which case it would not have been detectable at the distance of Jupiter since its diameter ...
