Help in identifying a (new?) comet in Sagittarius…
Hello,
Tonight, August 8th 2008, whilst taking a photo of the Hubble Space Telescope passing by Jupiter I noticed a faint blue object near the recorded trail of the HST. The FOV is approx 2 x 1.25 degrees.
Subsequently, I took several other photos of the object and it shows distinct movement as show in the attached composite image.
I have tried a quick search using my normal software and could not locate a current comet in this position.
Cheers
Dennis
