Lostock -- How will Beshore go?

Hi Mike & All,

"Will it develop a big tail and be visible at Lostock?"

It's hard to be sure (be sure -v- Beshore ... get it!) (sorry, couldn't resist that one) at this early stage (it'd be nice certainly), but I'd have thought it manifestly unlikely to be a "show-stopper" variety comet.

It's not outside the bounds of possibility it might reach naked-eye visibility. As to much of a tail, not likely I'd have thought. Others more expert with comets will have a much better idea of this than I.

Greg??

Best to keep an eye on it either way though!


Best,
