I had checked swan images from 0216-0303 last night. And find out E2 fait in Swan images. 0219 570 275 0221 567 273 0226 561 273 0228 599 273 0303 555 272 This...
Hi Jin, E2 (McNaught) has actually been visible in SWAN since 1/29. I e-mailed Rob McNaught back on Feb. 6th that at first I thought I had found a new SWAN...
Hello list members, My name is Kevin Forbes, this is my first post to the list. I have been a list member of the meteorite list for some time. May I draw your...
Hello SOHO list, there appears to be a Kracht-group object visible in the most recent mpeg LASCO C3 download from ESA. 16-03-2005. The object first appears...
... recent mpeg ... top, it ... the image ... appears ... Hello Kevin, I have checked it with GUIDE 8, and there is the planet Mercury! (I have mistaken it as...
Hello Rainer Thank you for the information, I am new to the list, and will no doubt have a rapid learning curve with help from list members. What is the GUIDE...
Rob, I haven't checked it out yet, but I'm sure it's real. Congrats! Like I say, I haven't looked at it, so I don't know it's path/motion/brightness or...
Hi Karl and Rob, ... Would be nice ;) But I fear we are a bit early in the year for it. Cheers, Sebastian -- ... Sebastian F. Hoenig Max-Planck-Institut fuer...
Hi Karl, ... Thanks! It popped right out at me and I wasn't even looking for it. ... I'm pretty sure it's a Marsden based on the path and velocity (it has a...
... Yes, the Marsden-group is definitely getting complicated now... The problem is the uncertainty in the astromtery measurement, especially for C3. If this...
Hello list, I was wondering, would it be advantageous to all if there was software that loaded a jpeg image and ID'd its size, and then allowed you to move...
Kevin, Most photo and image editing programs (e.g. PhotoShop, PaintShop Pro, Gimp, etc) do this already. They display the pixel coordinates (usually) in the...
Hi Karl and Group, ... If it can only hold on 'til about 19h to 20h UT, it will enter C2. (But will we have images?) ... Unfortunately not. My wife and I...
... The answer, very sadly, is no. All data gaps from the past few days will remain unfilled. DSN contact is very limited right now due to the SOHO keyhole and...
Hi Karl, ... Oh well. We did get 2 hits in C2 -- Steve Farmer spotted two suspicious points just exiting the top of C2 when images resumed at 00:48: 0/0 in...
Hello Rob, ... What one (or in other words: Brian) would need for a somehow reliable link to another comet would be a bunch of C2 observations that allow for a...
Hi Sebastian, Given the ~5-fold higher astrometric uncertainties in C3, I agree -- C2 would have been the only hope for a solid linkage. A shame that the...
With the MPECS of several January SOHO comets, I was intrigued to find that C/2006 A5 (SOHO), or SOHO-1087, the particularly brilliant Kreutz comet visible...
Hello all, Just to add to Tony's thought-provoking comments, I thought you would all be interested in some photometry results I got from his comet (SOHO-1087)....
Dear all, The sungrazer website will be down for the entire weekend. It will go down at ~7:00pm (EST) today and stay off until ~7am (EST) monday. Please email...
Hi all, for those who are posting Meyer group claims in C3, i.e. in the pre-perihelion leg, before entering C2: I am not sure if there was any of the 65+ Meyer...
Hi all, you may look out for this new minor planet, announced in MPEC 2006-H57. With q =0.065 AU it is expected at perihelion on July 4, 2006. It will be...
Hi Maik, Interesting indeed! I show the predicted visual magnitude peaking at 13.4 on July 5th; however, this assumes that the object isn't a comet and thus...
Hi Maik and Rob, the last perihelion was about 1998 July 25 (if the orbital period is correct), but there were no SOHO/LASCO images at this time. The SMM...
Hi Rainer & Rob, ... the orbit is still uncertain, of course. Excluding of the two worst observations let the period drop to almost exactly 7 years. I first...
Hi all, ... todays DOU contained an improved orbit with P=4.14 years and q = 0.088 AU Cheers, Maik -- If they give you ruled paper, write the other way. *...
... Not really improved. The orbital solution is still ambigous. All solutions 4 < P < infinity are still satisfactory with approximately the same mean error. ...
Hi All, Latest update on the sungrazing "asteroid" 2006 HY51: q = 0.0801 a = 2.6246 P = 4.25 years Perihelion: July 6th (~13:30 UT) Prior perihelion would...
