COMET C/2014 C2 (STEREO)

K. Battams, Naval Research Laboratory, reports that a comet has been found

by Alan Watson in images obtained with the STEREO-A satellite

Battams notes a nuclear condensation that is slightly diffuse, and the comet

clearly has a thin, diffuse tail, adding that the peak brightness was

probably around mag 6 and that the comet may have transited the solar disk

as observed from the spacecraft; by the time that the comet left the HI-1

field-of-view, the brightness was around mag 12, and it then appeared very

diffuse and elongated with no nuclear condensation apparent.

2014 UT R.A. (2000) Decl. Mag.

Feb. 1.46 20 09.77 -19 34.0 7.0

The object may be near mag 13-14 at elongations 20-30 deg for ground-based

observers in the next week or two, if the comet has survived intact.

Hej Lars

Spændende! Den skulle nå 5 magnitude sidst på måneden og står meget godt på himlen på vores breddegrader

Men gemmer sig som alt ande bag skyerne!
