Hmmm. Is C/2012 K5 a little fragment of HB? Peri, node adn incl are very similar, but HB has prograde orbit, K5 has retrograde orbit. C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) ...
Dear Krisztian, and all, I had noticed this basic similarity back when C/2012 K5 was still on the NEOCP. I had tentatively dismissed it at the time, not only...

Hello Kris, and all, ... nice coincidence. ;) But here q is far off at about 2.4 AU. ;) I am no expert on orbit dynamics (although fascinated by it) and can't...
Hello all, it seems we have a flurry of chance coincidences: C/1785 A1 (Messier-Mechain) Perihelion: 1785 Jan. 27.825 q 1.14340 Peri. 205.632 Node 267.214...
The last reported position for this comet was 2011 Mar 7. It was at perihelion this February 26. I have just imaged the comet at mag 19-5 – 20.0. Offset from...
Hi all, C/2011 U3 PANSTARRS Is not observable at its nominal position on a CCD image, when stars to magnitude 17.0 are seen. This comet is intrinsically very...
Hello, Attached all my observations of comets true the nights of 24 / 05 until 29/05 The pictures on the website will follow later. ... Best Regards, Mr....

Hello Pieter-Jan, ... this should be posted to CometObs, and not to comets-ml. Thanks, Maik -- If they give you ruled paper, write the other way. * Juan Ramon...
Hello all, just to note that the low-q orbit is really preliminary as said in the CBET. Here's an alternative orbit C/2012 L3 Perihelion 2012 Jun 8.091911 TT;...
I live in the Southern hemisphere, at 26S. Given that the majority of asteroid and comet hunting takes place well up in the Northern hemisphere, does this...
Hi Maik & everyone. I tried my best to checking the comet from SWAN, but I can't found any obvious object in the place which it should appear. Best wish Hanjie...
Hi Franco, The answer to both your questions is "yes" and "yes" :) In the southern hemisphere there is a dearth of comet survey's. In fact more amateur comet...
There are several successful comet-hunters in the southern hemisphere. Mostly we search well to the south out of the range of the majority of the big surveys...
Hi Franco! Even though I'm neither a southerner, nor a night-sky comet hunter (I only do SOHO/STEREO comet hunting so far), I'd very much suggest you to scan...
Hello Franco, This was the same question I had asked in a thread dated June 1, 2011. Message # 17441. There were some replies to the thread, and you should go...
Good luck Franco! I've been doing an intermittent and ill-disciplined sungrazer search from 36.7-deg south for a little while. I'm limited in equipment but...
Hi all, I have updated my analysis of the currently brighter comets. You can find it at the URL http://kometen.fg-vds.de/aktause.htm Regards, Andreas...
I had a look on my Starry Nights seems to be a mostly Daytime object for the .5 m scope I can access on Mt Teide until Aug 13th at the earlist so far...
Hi guys,I have tried 3 times visually with no luck at a definite sighting, all i can say is that it must be around 14th mag assuming a coma dia of 1'....
Hi Group, I have seen the comet it again this morning: 96P (Machholz) 2012.06.22.17 UT 13.9mag, 0.5`, DC:6 (40L, 138x) Well condensed object with starlike...
