Re: NEOCP object A11nyuL
Dear Krisztian, Med, all, It¡¯s still quite early in the game, but, indeed, this object does look interesting. There does seem to be some similarity to the orbit of the Daylight Comet of 1910,

Re: NEOCP object A11nyuL
Hello all , I know it's still too early to ask this, as the data is still uncertain, and I might be overstepping into something I don't fully understand, but I just realized that this object shares

Re: comet 29P in outburst
Hello Taras and the group, My observation of 29P with my eQuinox2 (smart telescop UNISTELLAR, Newton 115*450, data with Tycho Tracker) last night in France with magnitude m2 equal to 14.3. Image

comet 29P in outburst
Hi all, Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann is most likely in a strong outburst. I imaged this comet earlier today and noticed a condensed inner coma of 0.4' in diameter with classic outburst appearance.

Hi Manos, Thanks. Yes, I hope that it will be recorded and made available online after the meeting. Nick.

Re: Comet of the century or pipe dream?
Dear Maik, all, I concur that, given the circumstances, it was appropriate to stop the investigation at that point. Indeed, the discrepancy between the Chinese and Roman reports of the 44 B.C. is

Re: Comet of the century or pipe dream?
Alan, David, I am currently on travel, so please forgive me this short answer. First, please bear in mind that the projected perihelion dates are already quite uncertain in 336 and even more in -43.
By Maik Meyer · #33693 ·
Re: Comet of the century or pipe dream?
Hi David, all, Interesting thoughts. When I was researching this object some years ago I came across the opposite speculation, i.e., it was the Roman dates that are incorrect. (I honestly don¡¯t

Re: Comet of the century or pipe dream?
Hi Maik and all, I have been thinking about the Great Comet of -43 and the possibility that it was a return of the 1744 comet.? If you are correct about the orbit of this latter object (and you

Re: Comet of the century or pipe dream?
I'm crudely estimating from the posted uncertainties that the 3¦Ò uncertainty ellipse is somewhere around 20 arcmin across, which is rather large for JWST whose largest camera only covers a pair of

Re: Comet of the century or pipe dream?
Mag 34 for JWST is ultra-deep field like when Hubble reaches mag 31+. I'm not convinced that they would make such an ultra-deep field just to recover such a comet that would anyway be recovered long

Re: Comet of the century or pipe dream?
Thanks Rob! All, coming back to the possibility of recovery attempts in the coming decades. I really hope it would be possible withing the next 20 years. And I really wonder... I've read somewhere
