Another comet that might be of interest..

Currently running about a magnitude ahead of forecast, so might be around mag 7 or brighter in September. Here are positions:

Thanks Terry! About time for you to discover a new one, isn't it? :)

I actually "found" C/2008A1 2 nights ago and then a quick check found it had actually already been discovered :) The long spell of cloudy weather in Brisbane is finally ending so hopefully I can find another one soon!

Man that must be disheartening :)
