I have just come in from observing the comet - it is now very close to 8.63 mag star SOA 205900. It will pass in front of this star later this morning, our time.

Hi Steve. You keep typing 'omnicon' is that a misspelling of 'omicron', or another star altogether? Comet Johnson passed only 35
degrees (no mistype, I don't mean 3.5') from omicron Centauri. My charting software puts Johnson on top of SAO 205900 as well, so we're talking about the same comet at least!
