According to Starry Night Pro 6 (with the comet updates of today) Comet
Holmes is aprox. 1.6249 AU. from Earth with an Apparent Magnitude of 2.61.

major difference is that the comet is in Cassiopeia. Not a large

Whenever in an animation on TV the asteroid belt is shown,
a fleet of chunks is valving by like a flock of sheeps (often making silly
noise). A common

Hi,
Thanks for the try, but I was hoping some observatory
would do spectra on this outburst. Since the last outburst
was in 1893, there would be no spectroscopy since!
This would explain why it wasn't in even the most complete
references. Holmes has been coma-free until now.
