Hi Rainer, Congrats on your new comet discovery. Very interesting object. Long time visible. I analysed this object and it seem that time of perihelion was...
Hi All (and particularly Rainer & Maik), Despite the expected long period of the Meyer group family of comets (due to the high orbital inclination), I thought...
Hi Rob, nice analysis! ... I think that an important point here is the sigma of the "average" discovering time. If you have a small dispersion (few days), your...
... It's the high latitude of perihelion which makes the Meyer comets unlikely to be of short period. The Meyers have L/B = 98/53 deg. But among the asteroids...
Hi Rainer, Thanks for taking a look at possible dynamical linkages. For practice, I might try one myself to see how FindOrb reacts to it... --Rob ... From:...
Hi Rainer, I spent some time playing around with a linkage of C/1996 N3 & C/2003 B1. I couldn't force FindOrb to piece them together, but I did generate ...
Hi again, Taking another tack, I tried altering the eccentricity of my solution for C/1996 N3 until it produced a perihelion match for C/2003 B1. This is...
Hi guys, what a nice thread! ;) Well, a few years ago I pondered some weeks over the problem. I am no mathematician, but the question is, how to find a...
... C/2003 ... reasonably ... piece ... Hi Rob, I use EXORB for the linkages. Today, I have tried the first three of your list C/1996 N3 = 2003 B1 C/1997 G7 =...
Hi all, I have updated my graph about the frequency of appearances between all Meyer group comets (1996-2008). This shows interestingly a peak around 3900 days...
Absolutely horrible timing for SOHO LASCO images to be in intermittent and delayed mode. My astronaut friend Don Pettit is aboard ISS for the next week or so,...
... Hi Rob, is it really possible to see a SOHO comet from the ISS? A Kreutz enters the C3 FOV at about 8 degress solar elongation. But the sun has to be...
Hi Rainer, ... A good question -- he can easily record 6th magnitude near the earth-limb, maybe 7th. I just don't know how far below the horizon the sun needs...
Dear Friends, It seems that Alan Watson has found a Kreutz comet visible on HI1b images taken by STEREO spacecraft (from Nov 18). Comet should be enter in...
Hi all, The report page seem to get down again,can you open it? The below is a possible kreutz comet I reported yestaday at about 23:30(UT): picture size: 1024...
Hi Jiangao, As far as I am aware, there have been no outages for the comet report page. Are you at the correct url (http://uap-www.nrl.navy.mil/sungrazer)? ...
Dear All, As you will have seen if you try to access the Sungrazer website, you are now being redirected to the PERMANENT home of the Sungrazer site at...
Dear All, I posted a message to the Sungrazer page, but I'll put one out here too. I have finally gotten NRL's realtime LASCO data stream working again, so...
Hi All, I have been trying to locate comet Lulin (2007 N3) in LASCO but I can't find it. I assume you all have negative reports, too. Given its predicted...
Hi Karl, I try to find Lulin in C2 using the original FITS files... --Rob ... From: sohohunter@yahoogroups.com [mailto:sohohunter@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
Hi Karl, Looking at your pixel rates, this looks like it will be difficult to distinguish from a background star. In C2, for instance, a star moves about...
Hi Karl, I'm having no trouble seeing stars as dim as magnitude +9 in C2 in the 11/26 images: HD 143785 +7.31 HD 144273 +7.54 HD 143956 +7.80 HD 143616...

Hi Rob, Thanks for taking a detailed look at this. It doesn't surprise me that red stars are showing up unusually bright in C2, given the bandpass of its...
