Еще одна комета вспышнула!
COMET 169P/NEAT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M. Jaeger, Vienna, reports that his co-added CCD images of
this comet (cf. IAUC 8578, 8591) taken on Sept. 6.11 and 7.11 UT
with a 0.20-m Schmidt telescope, with the comet low in the morning
sky, show a coma of diameter 2'-2'.5 and (on Sept. 7.11) a faint
tail approximately 10' long. A. Hale, Cloudcroft, NM, reports that
his visual observations on Sept. 12.48 (0.2-m reflector) and 13.47
(0.41-m reflector) show the diffuse comet at total mag 11.5 with a
coma diameter of 1'.5 and some slight condensation. Hale had
previously observed the comet in early August, when it appeared as
an essentially stellar object of mag approximately 14.5-15.0.
