Hi again: I forgot to mention also that all these extra "updates" on the comet should be reduced to at least 2 only: the first should be comet seen at XXXXX Ut...
Hi all, I think we had enough on the topics of "how many x,y-Positions do I need", "how do I report to save credit", reliability of claims, rules, "spam" ...

Hi Dave, I already saw what you think of in the original images. Again some reasons why I am sure this won't be confirmed by Derek: (i) The object's shape...
Dave, In my experience concerning processed realtime images, using this method is fine to locate a possible comet if you want too, but if you can't clearly see...
Here's a newbie question for the group: If it is possible to get JPG images out of the SOHO/LASCO archives, could someone tell me how? I am interested in...

Hi Daniel, The archive images do only contain FITS images. However they have to be prepared before viewing - it's not that easy for a beginner. If you want to...
Sebastian, Thanks for the link, it's just what I want for now! I'm afraid I'm not much help in explaining why you have so many newbie postings lately. I got...
Hi All, Check out the November 6th 21:08 B&W C2 frame at around the 4 o'clock position, pretty close to the occulting disk. Talk about a cosmic ray hit...
Hi all, I have put a first graphic of 2002 V1´s path through LASCO C3 from Feb 16 to Feb 20, 2003. Now I am trying a first magnitude "guess" which will also...
Hi all, just a quick overview on this comet for those not so common to comets in general: C/2002 V1 (NEAT) was discovered by the Near Earth Asteroid Tracking...
Hi all, I am sure my discovery and report of today will generate a fair amount of flak. So I do believe an explanation is in order... For the past few weeks I...
Hi Dave and List, Wow, such a flurry of activity since I went to bed last night. A bright Kreutz comet and a nice Meyer group comet within hours of each other!...
Hi, David-- Congratulations on your find, but I'm concerned about the precedent of posting with a single position. If you're saving so much time with this new...
Hi all, Just as I expected my find of today has generated some interesting opinions. In answer to Rob Rob comments - "A couple points to make regarding Dave's...
Dave, You've received this advice (admonition?) from some respected SOHO afficionados, but I think it bears repeating. You're taking this SOHO comet business...
Dave, ... if you are really believe THIS than I am disappointed and even a little bit furious. I am just waiting for the point when you start to fight the ...
Hi all, Here are just a few softly spoken words in response to the comments and advice I have received from Rob and Maik (re: the previous two messages to this...
Congrats Dave on your 10th comet discovered! As far as the posting of one position. As Derek said it. If it is obvious.... Dave's comet was obvious. He did it...
Hi all, prompted by the latest discussions - which I just like Dave would like to see ceasing - I have thought a little bit about how we can improve the...
I have two more possibly naive questions for you all... 1) Why do so many many of the reports of the last few months involve images from the C2 coronagraph and...

Hi Daniel, ... images ... in ... No, you're absolutely correct. The C3 has a field of view nearly 5 times larger than C2 (and thus nearly 25 times the area)....

Maik-- Though you may not have found a comet since June, certainly your 28 comets count for something. (Come to think of it, I haven't found one since...
Hi All, Assuming I haven't messed up my orbital elements, it seems like the comet going through C2 November 11/12 is not an exact match to a Marsden...
Hi Rob, congratulations on this find! ... yes, you are right - it is no exact match. Nevertheless I would still bet my money (not all, though!) on a Marsden...
Hi Maik, Thanks for confirming my computations that this comet track is a bit south of what one would expect for a Marsden track on November 12th. As you say,...
Rob, ... You sleep 14 hours?! Not really, do you. The last 14 hour for me is more than 6 months away I guess... ;) Regards, Sebastian ... Sebastian F. Hönig ...
