Can any of you who use Seiichi Yoshida's website tell me what the "best time" in his current bright comets page is based on ? It appears to the left of the...
Hello, ... Thank you for your looking my web site :-) The "Best Time" shows the local time when the comet locates highest through the night at latitude of N35...
Hello, ... see the answer above. Many comets are low in the western sky at the evening. So the best time to observe is when it's getting dark enough. And...

This morning I managed to catch 21P and P/2005JQ5 only a degree apart in the sky. Unfortunately only 2 exposures were even remotely usuable due to cloud...

Hello all, On August 1st at 20:10UT, a CCD image taken at the expected location of C/2005 K2 LINEAR reveals no object brighter than 16th magnitude. This ...
Dear colleagues, Anybody observed 10P/Tempel 2 recently? Although it is already high enough to observe, no observations have been reported in recent MPECS....
Hello all: To illustrate a scientific paper, I need a scientific quality image of 9P/Tempel 1. Full credit will be given to the observer. Please write to me...
As many of you know, I am in the process of writing the Cometography series of books for Cambridge University Press. The series was at first intended as a...
Seiichi, I have images of the area on August 2.8 UT showing stars to mag 15.0 (slight cloud) but no trace of the comet yet. Given the conditions I would say...
Dear Gary, both comets are identical and yes, Barnard, made a mistake. I converted the 1905.0 coordinates into 2000.0 and changed the date (i.e. took the ...
Well, I guess the lively debate I was expecting is put to rest very quickly. Thanks, Maik! I will replace Mikhailov's orbit with the one you provided in your...
Dear Gary, ... yes, sure. However, I do not know if I have all observations Mikhailov had available... Anyway, even with excluding the worst observations a...
