The sky was not in optimum condition(Moon and haze), again a view to this nice comet, now a little brighter, I could see it in the 4" TMB with averted vision....
A color-picture of T7 from last night captured with the Hypergraph a picture of 2P Encke with a telelens from the same night is uploaded to our website. ...

Hello Giovanni, I used a RCOS 12.5" F9 RC scope mounted on an Astro-physics AP900 mount, and SBIG ST10MXE with the Custom Scientific RGB filters. The image...

Hi Konrad, ... Those are auroral curtains. There are some nice pictures at this link from the Nov. 20th storm. ...
This evening I had what will probably be my last look at 2P/Encke for this apparition. Although its coma is now shrinking, the comet is still a rather large...
I notice at this apparition of Encke the prospects of seeing it at perihelion are about as good as they get. As far as I know Encke hasn't been seen from...
... an ... favourably ... Perhaps ... Terry's suggestion of attempting to spy 2P/Encke near perihelion passage would indeed be an interesting challenge for...
I would love to observe and image 2P/Encke on the 29th of December! But, I fear it is going to be much too faint. My noonday VLM of stars near the sun though...
Tonight at 2318 UT Dec 5 2P/Encke was only 16 degrees above the horizon. To my utter amazement it was a very prominent golden/green color in the 4-inch...
Dennis, Certainly don't try to see 2P/Encke in broad daylight. On the date of perihelion, the comet still rises 85 minutes before the sun from latitude 25...
... Murphy's law. I truly understand what this feels like. I was trying to image the comet on the 5th also. My laptop screen had gone down and I had a...
Hello all, I have just uploaded updated analyses of C/2001 Q4, C/2002 O7 and T7 and 2P made by Andreas Kammerer. The prospects for the potentially two bright...
Last night I observed and imaged this comet for what may be the last time. I caught it shortly after sunset as it was sinking in the west. I was amazed to...
