Dear Raquel, about two years ago I needed to calculate magnitude of a star from STScI. In result I found a simple method, based on Paint Shop Pro 5 functions....

Hi all and a Happy New Year, just to let you know: The MPEC 2000-A04 gives the name of the recently re-discovered comet 11D as 11P/Tempel-Swift-LINEAR On the...
My latest observation of 2000WM1 at January 2.44, 2002. Magnitude 5.8 (10 x 50 binoculars) and highly condensed. The first 10' of tail is quite distinct but...
Hi again, I have to correct my statement that 11P is the first comet to be re-designated from the D status since the introduction of the new designation...
Just a passing note of interest. Comet 96P has entered SOHO's LASCO C3 camera and can been seen as a faint elongated streak just below the occulting bar. My...
Actually, This is a mis-report. The object I reported is not Comet Machholz. The real Comet Machholz emerged from behind the occulting bar as a bright 3rd...
Hi All!
Comet Machholz is real bright, I think that it is about 2 magnitude. Comet has 2 degrees long tail, it is probably jon tail. It is really nice object....
Hello all:_ The Observatory 213 informs that 2001 TU80 is in Outburst. Tonight I have been able to confirm that the comet is 2 magnitudes more brilliant that...

Dear colleagues, The following comets are waiting for the first observation now. The returns of three comets, 22P, 77P and 96P, were confirmed. But the good...

Hi all! It seem that now 96P have a magnitude 0-(-1). If I'm correct remeber last time when P/Machholz was around Sun magnitude was much fainter. I wonder...
... Hi Sebastian, Just compare situations from this and last peryhelium and conditions are similar. Durning last time 96P at peryhelium was about 0.93-0.96AU ...
Maciej, yes, that's right. But there is another effect that increases the brightness this time. The phase angle of the comet is very small and you get a kind...
96P is also an interesting comet in that there is suggestions that the comet has been dormant in the past. I think it has definite potential to suprise and in...
Hi all again! For now, comet 96P move out from C2 view. But still tail is visible on this fame, interesting!!! Also interesting is a tail and coma changing...
Some interesting parts of paper ESA News sent to MPML group via Ron Baalke. Maciej Seen today with an impressive tail, Machholz 1 is a more robust, but ...
Hi all! Did you see last SOHO images? Take a look! It seems that Sun ejected a major stream into a 96P direction. Comet now is very very bright! Estimate is...

Hello, I'm also amazed due to this marvellous show! BTW, the images prove perfectly a popular claim, that comet's tail is always in anti-solar direction :-))))...
Mag -4 seems a bit high. I would have said magnitude -1 to -2 for the coma (note the blooming streaks on Venus are much longer indicating that Venus is a lot...

can anyone give any hints as to when (and how) to look, i.e.
what time around sunrise/sunset and at...

At Jan 9.45, 2002 UT, I observed Comet C/2000WM1 in 10 x 50 binoculars. The coma is now very condensed and at first glance looks like a star with a short...
