New comet discovered in rendezvous field!
A new comet has been discovered C/2009 U6 in a field which contained a rendezvous of 2 other known comets 29P and 81P.
Amateurs and Pro's had been photographing the rendezvous field but failed to see the third comet to the west of 29P.
A few had noticed it, including Mr Mattiazzo who imaged the rendezvous, but the faint background fuzzy was not given another thought!
So close yet so far!
