I just called Shigeki Murikami and congratulated him on his second discovery. He stayed with us over Christmas but it poured for his whole stay and we didn't see a thing. Shigeki is a dedicated visual hunter of comets in the great tradition of Japanese masters of comet hunting - Seki, Ikea, Honda... He gets up at 1 or 2 am, drives to a dark site, and searches - often in sub zero temperatures with snow on the ground. A snow hydrologist with the Japanese government, Shigeki has a very Zen approach to hunting - "when looking for comets, don't look for them". - think about it!
