Hi, few hours ago I imaged 46P/Wirtanen by means of a 0.3m, f/2.8 Baker camera + CCD + Johnson V filter. The conditions were far from ideal (moonlight...

Thanks Giovanni - I am able to retrieve the images now....I have no idea what was wrong before other than bad timing! Thanks. Clay ... Dr. P. Clay Sherrod ...
Hi All, I wonder how this current outburst will affect the planned Rosetta mission to 46P/Wirtanen in 2011. What if the comet disintegrates???? The Rosetta...
... Hello Michael, let's cross our fingers and hope that the outburst is just a casual event not affecting the overall consistency of the nucleus. Does anybody...
Hi All, I've uploaded recent comet images into the photos section. Subfolder Mattiazzo 2001 Q4 NEAT, which appears about mag 16.2-16.5 2002 Q5 LINEAR, which is...
In the photos section are further images of C/2001q4. The latest is a compilation of 49 x 1 minute exposures taken centred on October 4.570, 2002. It is a...

Hi All, Don't You know what's going on with 154P, 155P, C/2002 O4 and C/2002 O6? Since 15 September I can't find new observations or images of these comets...
... C/2002 O6? ... I tried to observe 2002 O4 on 9-29, but I couldn't find a trace of it. It was only about ten degrees up or so anyway. I haven't even had a...

Hi cometobservers and photographers, I would like to get your thoughts about investing in equipment to take images of comets. I have two possiblities, first I...

Hi to all, ... This discussion isn't OT at all. I think there is another factor to discuss about. If I want to obtain a really good result with my Schmidt ...
... Yes, and that's why every few years it's time to demount the CCD and put the film in the focal plane to snap that great comet. But most of the time you...

Dear Maik, ... In my own calculation, the light curve in 1997 was not asymmetric. Please see the page: http://www.aerith.net/comet/catalog/0046P/1997.html ...

Dear Seiichi, ... yes, you are right; if we only take the visual observations then the lightcurve at http://www.fg-kometen.de/46P/sele0046.gif is comparable to...
