Hi All,
An intriguing story is developing over on the Minor Planet Mailing List. It appears that a comet has been discovered by some unknown party located in the western U.S. (based on the times of the two discovery images). The object has been confirmed today by two observatories: Ageo (349) and Moriyama (900), both in Japan. What's unusual is that the object does NOT appear to have been found using a CCD-equipped telescope. I have a feeling it was found visually, either with a backyard telescope or very large binoculars. --Rob ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
