Dear Gang, Have composed a Top 100 list for 2013, along with comet prospects and charts; http://astroguyz.com/2012/12/31/the-top-astronomy-events-for-2013/ ...
Hi all, I was amazed at C/2012's appearance last night Jan.1.1 UT. The last time I observed it was on Christmas morning. The coma was about 1' across, dense...
Hi All We just updated our blog with info & image of newly discovered comet C/2012 Y3 (MCNAUGHT): http://bit.ly/VYTTpR Ciao, Ernesto Guido & Nick Howes ...
Bob, it looks like the Earth passed through the orbital plane on Comet 2012 K5 late on December 30th, so the apparent shift in the direction of the comet's...
Dear Dave,                  thanks for your top 100 items of interest for 2013,                  I was waiting for...
Unfortunately it still does not work for me and I'm really interested of the content of that page. Sorin Sent from my iPad ... [Non-text portions of this...

You will have to highlight, copy and paste the entire line as only part of it is hyperlinked. If you merely click on the hyperlinked part below, you will get a...
... In any case it doesn't help because the comets shown there - which were copied from http://www.eagleseye.me.uk/Sky/Wordpress/?p=1922 - are again shown with...
Dan, The dust tail of the comet C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS) will be curved "to the left" and broad. One may expect this curvature to be rather strong, especially...
Piotr is indeed correct and the illustrations seen on the Eagle Eye on the Sky blog bear no resemblance whatever as to how either comet will actually appear...
Very true, of course, but speaking as a fellow blogger who has created "finder charts" for these comets, until someone comes up with a planetarium program or...
Hi Folks, I have a simple suggestion in order to display in planetarium software where the dust tail will present. I am a Guide 8 user in this example which...
Thanks Michael, that's really good advice. So, I've been having a play about with Photoshop and have put together some pics showing different "versions"; of...
Sorry if my diagrams gave the wrong impression and do not show curved tails. But the planetarium software will only show the anti-solar direction of the tail....
Dear colleagues, Maciej Reszelski introduced me the image by A. Diepvens (C23). My impression is; 97P is visible, but much fainter than 16 mag comparing to the...
I’ve posted an image of this comet tat I’ve just taken. This comet continues to be a ‘nice’ comet to observe. The image I’ve posted contains two...
The big problem with the graphic representations prepared by those largely unfamiliar with the behavior and physical appearances of bright, naked eye, comets...
... Hope I haven't just been told off! :-) I think that's a bit harsh, to be honest. While there are many sensationalist websites out there, and many that are...
... While caution is always warranted, those working for printed astronomy magazines have to act *now* and can not wait much longer, let alone til late...
I have been in the "comet business" for 48 years and have seen the great ones of the 20th century come and go and those not-so-great that were anticipated to...
