Hi,
I send several messages to CBAT and IAUC about the spliting
of comet 2007 Q3 (Siding Spring) You can find here an image I
took at Pic du midi :

I got no answer, perhaps CBAT has still E-mail problems, even
my E-mail is black listed ?
Anyway it is an interesting event, the spliting was discovered
by F.manzini on 2010 march 13.3, confirm by me on 2010 march 14.1
(cf the image). The fragment was bout mag 18 at 6 arcsec from the
nucleus with a PA of 240 degrees.
