The Comets of Caroline Herschel 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
There is an interesting paper in today's arXiv summary on "The Comets of Caroline Herschel (1750-1848), Sleuth of the Skies at Slough" by Roberta J. M. Olson and Jay M. Pasachoff:

arxiv.org/abs/1212.0809

you can download the PDF from that page.

Go well!

Jeremy,
Thanks for the pointer.
I'm up to page 4 and it looks a good read.
I'll look forward to any comments from those who know more of her history than I do.
