Hi guys, just a reminder for those with CCD capabilites, would be good to see if you can watch this comet coming in, currently located around Corvus, it is supposed to reach mag 5.5 in June this year, i observed it visually last week at Armidale Observatory with the 14" SCT and had it at around mag 13, very faint and diffuse, but anyone with CCD capabilites may want to watch this one and keep an eye on it!
This comet was quite hard to pick in the 14" @ f/11.
Visual observations are strongly encouraged!
Cheers!
