Hi all, I've tried to observe 02P last night. Seeing was bad (as usual) at -30° declination from my location but I found nothing down to mag. 18-18.5. With...

Congraturations to Alan! By the way, I have a question for this comet. On MPEC 2007-Q33, there is an orbital element of asteroid 2007 QA4. Obviously this...
A couple of years ago I had cataract surgery on my right eye. I was so pleased with the results that I had my left eye done two weeks later. I was very...

Luca. I observed it a month ago (2007.08.04), and really it was very diffuse, I needed T&S a lot of images with Astrometrica and it was about 17 mag (diffuse,...

I observed the comet on September, 6 by means 0.3-m reflector. The comet is diffuse without condensation, coma diameter 10", brightness 19m. The indicated...
... It was a crasy idea but I made an attempt from South France at dawn on August 12 only a few days after the annoucement of the discovery: the comet was low...
Hi Vitali, I think that at least one of your first two positions is quite wrong, because the object seem steady, while with the third position we understand...
Hi Luka, It is result of small brightness comet the program of astrometria uncertainly defines a position. But the comet really seen object well appreciable on...
Hi, last night C/2007 N3 (LULIN) has been imaged from the Remanzacco Observatory (details on image): http://tinyurl.com/yvtm4n In our stacking we cannot find...
I've just re-looked at my images of July - 18, 22 and 25. Conditions were less than perfect. None of the images showed anything that I could assert was...

Hi all, I also imaged the comet on Sept. 09.09 and 09.15 (mag. 19.2 N), and I've noted a faint tail approx. 20" in PA 247° on a stack of 77x15sec. with our...
Bonjour Luca, We also imaged this comet on Sept. 08.99 and 09.06 (mag. 19.2 N) T500 F/3 + ccd stl11k exposure = 25x180s no filter we noted a " train" approx...
I imaged this comet last night, and the suggestion of a tail in my stacked images was in fact a star. Dave Herald Canberra, Australia ... From: "francois...
Hi Dave and Francois, I re-post the message because it seems that it hasn't arrived to the list... From my images the tail seems real in two separate stacks...
