Dear colleagues, The following comets have not been observed recently. I mean, no total brightness have been reported. So the brightness is uncertain. C/2004...
Dear Seiichi: Thanks for posting this request especially for B1 (LINEAR). Regarding that comet the IAUC Ephemeride does not list a total integrated magnitude...
Dear colleagues! Comet C/2005P3 (SWAN) for the last some days has quickly lowered brightness. Below I bring the estimations of brightness executed by me on 300...
Hi Seichi. I got 9P yesterday night (see below) as a very diffuse and difficult object despite of its relatively brightness and diameter. Regards. Jose. ...
My recent observations using Wafrho indicate that 9P is between magnitude 12.1Rc (total) and 14.0Rc (Nucleus). Cheers David Higgins E14 Canberra, Australia ...
Dear colleagues, ... The event time shifts by about 1 day based on the improved orbital elements. 2005 Sept.23 9h UT 0.030 deg ( 1.8 arcmin) C/2005 P3 (...
Dear colleagues, I found a bug in my script on searching rendezvous between comets and planets since 2002 September. I have missed the following interesting...
Dear minor planet observers, with the purpose of continuing the line drawn by the three MACE meetings in the years between 2002 und 2004, we have the pleasure...
Dear colleagues, Thank you for observations of 9P. Today I updated my light curves and information of comets in my web pages. Best regards, -- Seiichi Yoshida ...
Hi all, now available as a pre-print is a paper by Sebastian F. Hoenig (accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics) in which he sucessfully links...
Dear Vitali Nevski, ... (snip) ... I observed several comets visually last night. Comet C/2005 P3 was very bright, 10.9 mag still now. Please see "Seiichi...
Dear Seiichi Yoshida, Observations miss. I observed this comet on September, 7 and informed on it in Comets-Obs the comet is visible hardly at height of 17...
Hello, Comet 29P is still unpredictable : it was very faint (tiny inner coma surrounded by a very faint outer coma, m1 near 16 ?) one week ago (same aspect on...
Dear list, persuaded by the large surveys comet hunters have to find niches where the competition is not so hard. Has anybody tried to hunt systematically in...
When observations are made or posted, it would help me and others to know what latitude you are at or the city :) Dr. Eric Flescher (kcstarguy@...), ...
Dear list, Michael Jaeger reports together with Gerald Rhemann that he has detected comet 169P/NEAT at low solar elongation as bright as 11 - 12 mag, with a 2...
Howdy Maik, If I remember correctly Tanaka used to specialise in moonlight hunting and got two, so it is possible to be successful. Personally I tend to avoid...
Dear colleagues! Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann really in a stage outburst. The comet was observed visually in 300mm Newton: 2005 Sep. 10.86 (UT): m1=13.2,...
Maik, Unfortunately the large surveys do not stop during bright moonlight. Just adding to what Rod said there are still opportunities to be had, i.e: 1....
Greetings Maik and others; Good idea. I began experimenting visual comet hunting in moonlight in the late 1970's and had a program in place by the early...
Dear Terry, Rod, and Don, thank you very much for these competent answers. Of course there are mnany niches where amateur comet hunter can search more...
Hi,list Can some body provide me information/explanation about this observation listed by MPC: http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/lists/LastCometObs.html P/2005 R3...
... Your observation was a recovery, as the comet made on sept 3 its first perihelion passage since its discovery par T.Spahr in 1998 : as such, it was given a...
Hi all, ... IAUC 8599 reports that Filip recovered this comet almost simultaneously with E. J. Christensen (Catalina) - both observed 0.4 days apart. The...
Hi all, ... IAUC 8600 confirms this: Alan Hale observed the comet visually at 11m5 and a diameter of 1'5, slightly condensed. Cheers, Maik -- If they give you...
Dear list, I have uploaded new analyses of current comets to the homepage of the German Comet Section. You can access them directly - as always - at ...
