22/P Kopff

Hi all,

22/P Kopff. Period of 6.4 years. Currently in Virgo at Mag 14.3. Perihelion date = 25 October, 2015.

22/P was discovered by August Kopff of the Königstuhl Observatory, Heidelberg, Germany in 1906. Some years ago, I asked Gary Kopff of Argo Navis fame if he was related and he replied that he was a distant relative; those Kopff boys sure have impact!
