Comet C/2006 M4 (SWAN) is next to the Sun and might be visible in the SOHO field soon.

onya Glen, great site! I do like a good SOHO imaged sungrazer now and then.
aussies involved in the original discovery, follow up ect. of it also (even a forum member no less) - which is always nice to see :) even if it is a faint one.

personaly I am looking forward to another aussie find in C/2006 P1 (McNaught) being in the C3 fov in early jan :-)))
cheers
