Hi all -
Thanks, Chris - I guess the new orbit will be
determined soon.
Perhaps something started the outgassing. Barring a
gravitational force, or just an ordinary
disintegration, wouldn't collision be possible? Or if
there was a disintegration into cometissimals...

Hi all -
Looks like we can add Hughes and Dale to the dataset.
Sad.

Hughes and Dale discovered it on land owned by the
Oregon Iron and Steel Company in what is now West
Linn.
...
But back to West Linn in 1902. The steel company
wouldn't sell, so
A collision is always a possibility, although the probability of that is
very small. But I think it can be largely ruled out in the case of 17P
since this isn't the first time it's done this- it was discovered during
a similar outburst. So it seems likely this is some poorly understood
feature
The comet looks much like last night in my 4 Newtonian. No dramatic change.
Seems a little bigger though.
cs,
Jan

Hi Mckinney and all,
Soaking it in diesel might not be such a good idea as such fuels absorb
water and would further add oxygen molecules

A much bigger object tonight than our last clear skies here two nights ago,
but a bit more diffuse and the yellow/orange color slightly less evident.
Still, it was a spectacular sight with a 32 mm eyepiece in my 8 SCT (62X),
with its distinctly stellar, point-like condensation in the center and
