Sam, it is certainly a southern hemisphere object at this time.? I was planning on trying for the comet from arizona on around the 6th, but at the time the comet just clears the horizon - its way too

Hi all, I have not seen much discussion about C/2024 G3 of late. While I personally doubt that it will survive to perihelion, I still think that its behavior as it approaches perihelion will be

Hello , No brightening for us : https://lesia.obspm.fr/comets/lib/all-obs-table.php?Code=CK23Q010&y1=2024&m1=10&y2=2024&m2=12&Username=&CodeObs=&Config= Francois -- Francois KUGEL Observatoire

Hi Thomas, I observed this comet 2 nights ago and measured the magnitude to be 15.9 -16.0 MPC Code I81 Tarbatness ADES DATA |C/2023 Q1 | | | CCD|I81 |2024-12-25T01:31:41Z |130.56329 |+75.48871 |0.05

According to observations by S. Fritsche and myself the comet C/2023 Q1 has started a sudden brightening in November. Unfortunately our observations are very sparse due to the bad weather during the

Nicolas, Don't apologize, you put a lot of time and effort into collecting and processing these images, providing data for others who don't have such information to scrutinize. One can look at any

Thank you all for your replies! This is more or less what I expected, but now I feel more confident after having independent confirmation from people with direct experience on the topic. Happy

Hello to all, Despite all the care I take for my shots, do not forget that the telescope used is only a connected telescope, powerful it is true but also has its flaws. For the magnitude calculation I

Mike - you are right that there's no clear objective dividing line between 'comet' and 'asteroid', and that the current definition is somewhat arbitrary, but this is still the definition we are

IMHO The level of activity is the important factor for the asteroid orbit study. If it is an object with so low activity that doesn’t affect observations is not a comet-like object. With no outburst

If one wants to be honest about what happens to any object with basically no atmosphere that gets close enough to the Sun to heat up its surface, they are all comets according to our definition of

After checking, just artifact!

Hello Sam , My observations from Nov. 04 and Dec. 12 seem to show to jets in PA 200 and 340° but maybe it is just artefacts : https://lesia.obspm.fr/comets/lib/display-obs1.php?Num=29261

Goodmorning, Well, I'm sharing the same thoughts. I've been questioning this myself the first time i observed this object:

Hi all, I wanted to invite some discussion on this topic I've been wondering about for a bit: I don't think C/2024 M1 is actually a comet. C/2024 M1 (ATLAS) was published as a comet back in July, with

CMOS vs. CCD shouldn't matter, nor should "estimated" uncertainty of individual astrometric positions. What should matter is leaving out observations with bad residuals -- something that the MPC

Either type of detector should be capable of measuring positions to a few tenths of a pixel (which will be well below 1" in most cases) with basic centroiding and a good solution to a good reference

Excellent! Very nice with the conjunction. I would like to know when the circular will come out, what are they waiting for? Regards, Roberto Haver 157 Frasso Sabino "Alan Hale"

There should be no astrometric differences between the two types of sensors. I have used both the CCD until a couple of years ago and now a CMOS sensor and I do not see any differences due to the type
