Hello to all.... I thought that you would all be interested in learning a bit more about Mike Holloway, who has provided us with some very fine images of...
Hi list, like 2002 in Visnjan and 2003 in Mallorca, the MACE (Meeting on Asteroids and Comets in Europe) will be held again in 2004. This time, the meeting...
Dear All, the 1st Virtual Meeting on Amateur Astronomy (http://www.bellatrixobservatory.org/cvaa_en.html) is approaching! I wish to thank all the people who...
Dear colleagues, Latest information of comets from ASAS-3 images. http://www.aerith.net/comet/asas3/asas3.html * 123P/West-Hartley It is clearly visible on the...
Hi all, just a quick note to say that I'm off to Nagoya, Japan for one year - so I don't think I'll be doing many comet observations over there... All the best...
Dear colleagues, The following comets are waiting for the first observation now. 58P reached to 10 mag in the previous return. How will it be in this return?...
Dear colleagues, The following comets are not observed recently and current brightness is uncertain. 88P was observed in early January, but much fainter than...
Having had the opportunity to view C/2002 T7 briefly in a dark sky last evening, just prior to moonrise, I have to say that my recent suspicions that there has...
Dear colleagues, I introduced in my last "Waiting for first observation" that P/1983 V1 is already 18.2 mag. But execuse me, it is wrong. Based on the light...
List, One point that worries me about T7 is the potential for parameter 'n' to fall to LESS than 2 pre-perihelion, followed by a high 'n' value outbound (i.e a...
List, With the current magnitudes of C/2002 T7 LINEAR and C/2001 Q4 NEAT, here are the possible maximum magnitudes at closest approach to Earth during May....
John Very interesting. If true to form, it will be an impressive show. Keep our fingers crossed. Meanwhile I viewed comet H1 through several photographic...
Bill, ... current observations worldwide put at about 12m, slightly condensed (DC=3) and small (smaller than 2'). I'll try to catch it at this weekends meeting...
Hi John and all, ... one still has to be careful with such a simple variation of "n" since a change in "n" in most cases is connected with a change of "H"...
Dear list, with much interest I was expecting new observations of C/2004 B1 (LINEAR) because the previous set of astrometry was inconclusive, allowing for very...
Maik, ... The orbit is now quite good determined for the angular part of the elements. However T is by far not exact and can easily be 4 or 5 months later....

... Argh, to be correct I wanted to state "more pessimistic brightness development *than* n=4" since Maik actually used this value. Sebastian ... Sebastian F....

Sebastian, ... yes, you are right of course. Maybe perihelion time shifts indeed a bit in order to have a slightly brighter comet. How about discussing it this...
Hi all just wanted to post a quick note and a link to my latest drawing of T7. I estimate m1 = 7.2 .... this is the first chance I've had to see T7 in over 3...
Hi, Further to John Bortle's note a few days ago many visual observers are placing T7 almost unchanged in brightness for several weeks. In fact I notice...
Hi Terry, in my opinion, the next month or so will be crucial for the evolution of 2002 T7. Since october we have seen a very fast brightening as a result of...
I have been going with a couple of different programs to see if T7 will be visible to the northern skys in April. It appears that around (?) the 16th of April...
... Here is what SkyTools 2 has computed. I have assumed CST for the local times (and it doesn't change for daylight savings) and sea level. Note that the...
Results of calcs done for Vicksburg Mississippi USA 32° 15' 59"N, 90° 51' 23"W are posted at: http://www.quantumhyperspace.com/Astronomy/CometC2002T7.html ...
