I checked on the COBS website and there are two observations, one dated 22 April 2020 (magnitude ~15.4) and one dated 6 June 2020 (magnitude ~16.0). Another observation is on Seiichi Yoshida's website ans it is dated May 22, 2020 (magnitude ~15.3). Good luck!<br /><br />Ciao,<br />Ernesto GuidoTeamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02981084132870887939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163493865891948082.post-9119235327985292242020-05-24T21:32:01.780+02:002020-05-24T21:32:01.780+02:00I have been following this comet since its discove...I have been following this comet since its discovery, and I have not detected it for a few days with my CCD telescope.<br />My limit magnitude is 18.<br />Do you have recent observations?<br />My last image is from May 22.<br />Thank you<br /><br />Atte, Adrián Arquiola, <br /> <br />Observatorio Astronómico Municipal de Funes<br />ARGENTINAAPAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06411411148856774406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163493865891948082.post-11045913979835738922020-04-04T09:50:16.736+02:002020-04-04T09:50:16.736+02:00There's also a visible movement of a star at t...There's also a visible movement of a star at the most upper left corner.Denis Poliakovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561297910681316887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163493865891948082.post-12171238637962939512020-02-08T22:26:11.492+01:002020-02-08T22:26:11.492+01:00Congratulations David Congratulations David Nick 20LUNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11381348679814672576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163493865891948082.post-15540092089125312262020-01-07T10:41:17.866+01:002020-01-07T10:41:17.866+01:00Hello, thanks for your comment.

I told my wife, "That CAN'T be right", so I looked it up. She says it was "live-streamed" from 220 miles, so it's not deceptive. I don't think even THAT was correct. The whole claim strikes me as a hoax.... from IBM, no less. Oddly, there are NO (zero) comments about this online. (The commercial was aired during a tennis match. Maybe no one watching tennis cares if it's correct or not... Only if the tennis ball hits the ground 3 mm outside the lines)TreeDoctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284596441020646796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163493865891948082.post-56752581972386881382016-03-17T09:29:51.103+01:002016-03-17T09:29:51.103+01:00it'll be Interesting to follow this one...it'll be Interesting to follow this one...Bob DeLoydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01924225483618784304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163493865891948082.post-56815924032436904732016-01-18T09:09:17.703+01:002016-01-18T09:09:17.703+01:00@Maehlum thanks for your kind words, appreciated!
