hi all, 

 

my first clear, moonless hour under the stars in 2021  !

It was very cold -1°C, windy and changing thin clouds in the regions,

but it was possible for me to observe three comets in that short timewindow before clouds came.

 

 

 

 

13.1.2021, 18:20 UT, region SQL 20.7mag 

12" Dobson, V 107x

 

I measured :

11.6mag, DC 3/4, diameter 1.5`with short tail 2.5`in PA 150°

 This is a fine sketch but you left me wondering.What were the other two and were you able to sketch them as well ?                Michael

hi Michael,

the two others, 141P and 398P, showed not some interesting details last night in my 12"er.

So it is in not wortwhile to invest time to work up a scetch.
