Hi all - The IAU orbit and ephemeris page for Ikeya-Zhang at: http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/Ephemerides/Comets/2002C1.html seems to indicate that the comet...
Hi Mitch - At present, I am not comfortable reporting on Pons Winnecke, as it is in a very rich star field and is NOT the projected magnitude of the...
Hi Clay - I observed the comet around 9:00 UT on May 18th and 20th. On those days it was in northeast Capricornus roughly between Gamma/Delta Cap and Beta...
Thanks - your method certainly was the best way to confirm; it certainly is a tough one right now and the passage through such rich star fields has pretty much...
Hi Clay - I just remembered that an image taken on May 14 by Michael Jager can be found at: http://www.theastronomer.org/comets/7p_20020514_jager.jpg If you go...
Will do on both counts, Mitch and thanks....I have five LINEARS on my regular list, but have not checked on C/2001 N2 in some time....nice to have another...
Mitch, all I know comes from http://www.oaa.gr.jp/~muramatu/comet/c2002c1.htm Here three observations by station 644 (NEAT, Mt. Palomar) of 2001 Aug 25 are...
Hi, I have just updated the image gallery of the German Comet Section Homepage. It also includes a new image of 7P/Pons-Winnecke, taken in mid-May, by M....
Thank you Maik - That image of Pons-Winnecke clearly demonstrates the difficulty of it acquisition, and the star-filled field is all too familiar! The...
A couple of inquiries prompts me to note that when possible observable (CCD) imaging is done for comets throughout the sky with one or more of four 12" SCTs...
Hello to all - For reference, I have just updated the listing of our "observable comets" that we are presently keeping up with at both Conway and Petit Jean...
Dear colleagues, The following comets are waiting for the first observation now. Yusuke Ezaki observed 125P on Mar. 12 as 18.0 mag, but not yet confirmed on...

I have been able to image 57P on one occasion via CCD, and two weeks prior I attempted with no success: May 23.379 @ m1 = 15.97 / Dia = 6" / CD = 2/9 on May...
I was doing some imaging of my pics of my April 27 Ikeya-zhang shots with photoshop. I was trying to use different time exposures and merge them . Not sure...
... Dr.Eric, C/2002C1 was very generous in the production of fine details in its inner coma, included jets and shells. I don't know if we are talking about the...
Hi all, Recent comet images of 2000 WM1 LINEAR and 2002 C1 Ikeya-Zhang are now available from the photos section taken with a 100-200mm zoom lens, starlight...
Dear colleagues, Here is the list of interesting rendezvous in June. QW Ser (15h26m13s.99, +08d18'03".8) is a cataclysmic variable. It is just in outburst...

Martin - thanks for this update; I am getting into the mid-7's on my estimates of C/2002 C1, possibly due to pretty heavy humidity in the air here in Arkansas....

Hi All! At the evening of first of June I observed comet Ikeya-Zhang with binoculars, but I had some problems with estimation of brightness of comet, because...
Hi All! Some months ago I read about two comets wchich were found in 18th century as periodic objects, but were observed only in one apparition. They were:...
