Maik, Congratulations to the ASAS team! Thanks for passing that on Maik. I'll check my survey images from late last month but I doubt I have anything due to a...

Hi list, I have created a group for the comet observers at www.frappr.com. Fell free to add your location to the map at http://www.frappr.com/cometobservers --...
Hi again, this comet is comparable to the bright comet Bennett of 1970 (my year of birth), at least from the orbit (which is of course still a little bit...
Sort of comparable - but with the high inclination, the longitude of the node will be relatively well defined - and 12 degs difference is too large for any...
The following is an extended ephemeris I have computed. Of course accuracy in a couple of months time will be quite poor, but it gives a sense of how visible...

Hi all, well I just visually observed and imaged newly discovered comet C/2006A1 (Pojmanski). It was easy to spot with my 16" Dob from my dark site - even with...
