Supposedly Mag. 9 and steady and located between Cetus and Pisces.

Hi Andrew

Hmm, a little too bright for my ST7E ccd camera; more used to mag 18 asteroids. Thanks for the heads up, I might have a poke around in that direction later in the week, as the forecast looks good after possible storms today and Wednesday.

Cheers

Hi middy i have been observing this comet for a while now, but have no suitable imaging gear and have been wistfully hoping someone here might post some images of it as it is slowly fading?

Is anyone out there tempted to give it a go over the next new moon?
It is fairly easy to find being 2 degrees and 18" directly below Alpha Pisces.

Use your solar filter Dennis, should be just right then.
