Dear colleagues, The following comets are waiting for the first observation now. 54P seems to be fainter than 19 mag actually. 67P was observed on June 18 at...

Konrad, Well done, impressive image. The individual frames are very well matched - many mosaics I have see show a clear division between individual images. I...
Hi Terry, ... I use the Italian program ASTROART 2.0 to build the mosaics. http://www.msb-astroart.com/ Before merging the images I make sure that they have...

Hi,
My name is Ben and I'm new to this group. I'm really
intrested in comets and are trying to discover one of

The Case of the Missing Comets: <http://www.earthchangestv.com/secure/0702articles/01missing.htm> hmmm......
Hi all - Has anyone made any attempts to visually observe comets C/2001 N2 and 57P within the past few weeks? I tried a few days ago with my 25 cm, but the...
Mitch - Both of these comets are likely too faint for visual recognition with the 25cm scope; they are two of my regulars that I monitor when conditions...
Just a quick note to wish all of our USA observers the very best, happiest and safest of Independence Days.....to those many of you who do not celebrate this...
... with C/2001 N2 at 13.7 (the second decimal does not make sense) with CCD (unfiltered?) it should be observable under dark skies with a 10" unless it is...
To that point, 2001 N2 is very diffuse and nearly "transparent" with respect to its overall area and magnitude. Clay ... Dr. P. Clay Sherrod sherrodc@... ...
Seiichi, I got an image of this comet in April this year and estimated a magnitude of somewhere around 16.5 (CCD unfiltered), so a current magnitude of 17.2...
Clay, ... this matches the visual descriptions very well - so, a hard target with a 10". Good skies and excellent eyesight are needed (as well as up-to-date ...
Hello - some comet observations made through our only break in the heavy clouds in over a week. These are from this morning, July 4, 2002 U.T. (happy 4th!!) ...
Yes, Maik....and getting even more difficult it seems by the night. Last night's (July 4) observations of this comet were indicating a pretty tough visual...
Very hazy conditions continue with a heavy summertime inversion layer. Stellar limiting magnitude to about only 16.6. Unfortunately fog and very heavy air...
Some comet observations made in a very heavy capped haze with heavy summertime inversion layer capping our limiting (stellar) magnitude to about 16.5....
In examining the recently reported physical observations of C/2002C1, Ikeya-Zhang, on the COHP and elsewhere, I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that nearly...
John - I totally agree with this and glad you have expressed this opinion; frankly we are having fits trying to come to some common ground even on a nightly...
John, You might be interested to know that a 7 minute long CCD exposure of mine on June 29.42 UT shows the coma out to 12' diameter (as measured perpendicular...
