First of all: My best wishes for 2025, and hopefully some interesting / bright comets and discussions on the mailing list!?

Personally, 2024 was for Observatory Gr?mme not a good year. Lots of bad weather.?

But the total amount of comet observations in 2024 is 768, still high according to 2023 (822). 67 different comets were observed.

This is the result of using an automated system (C.A.N.A.O.P: Comet And Neo Automated Observation Program). This has shortened?the loss of time in between 2 observations.?

Hope to do better in 2025 and to be able to do more follow-up observations.?

And so i had a good start yesterdag evening, the second of January. Some comets could be observed during the first hours of the evening.

Clear Skies!?
