Dear colleagues, ... (snip) ... I observed 78P on Sept. 17 and the tail has been already easy to see. Today I released Comet for Windows 1.2.0. And I added a...
Hi list, recently Piotr Guzik wondered about the low value for the absolute brightness of C/2004 S1 (van Ness). One possible reason may be that the comet may...

Burhard, ... just by comparison from the images I'd rate the comet not brighter than 6 mag. Cheers, Maik -- If they give you ruled paper, write the other way....
Hi all - Some magnitude estimates place the comet near magnitude 14. http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/mpec/K04/K04T18.html Are any coma size estimates available yet?...
Mitch, ... the confirmation observations saw it as large as 0.5'. I am quite sure that the comet can visually be seen in the 13's. Cheers, Maik -- If they give...
Hello All. Using the images of SOHO C3 and the comparison stars 21 Vir (Spec. K2) mvis 4.7 and 26 Vir (Spec. A0) mvis 5.4, I estimated C/2004 R2 ASAS as...
Hello All, Sorry, the comparison stars are: 21 Vir (Spec. A0) mvis 5.5 and 26 Vir (spec. K2)mvis 4.7. The estimations are correct. With regards, Peter Bus ... ...

Dear Peter Bus, ... Thank you. I plotted your estimations in my light curve: http://www.aerith.net/comet/catalog/2004R2/2004R2.html Although there is some...
... Hi all, It appears that the fading of C/2004 R2 is real, unfortunately. The comet is now visible in LASCO-C2 images, and at 14h30m UT (the latest image...
Comet C/2001 Q4 NEAT shows a 27 arc-minute long tail in my image of 6 Sept 2004. I have a new web page illustrating the comet and isophotes. The isophotes are...
Dear colleagues, The following comets are waiting for the first observation now. 103P is already appearing at dawn. It is still brighter than 15 mag, but it...
Hi All, If I am correct, in LASCO C3, star and comet images are affected due vignetting from about 10 solar radii and in LASCO C2 gradually and starting from...
Hi all, on the adress http://astrox.wz.cz/ruzne/04/obrazky/04r2_soho.gif is animation (254 kB) of the comet ASAS from C3 image. First image of the animation:...
