What happens to 2014 Q1? On the way to perihelion the comet is not visible in the night sky.

Over the next two weeks, he can also be found under extreme conditions from Northern Hemisphere. Although currently in Austria (48,5 degrees north latitude) hot and humid weather prevails, I gave him a chance this morning. Between two rain fronts there was a short observation window. The photographs were taken at 600 meters above sea level. As the comet was 3 degrees high in the brighter dawn, I was able to photograph him for 5 minutes. Then the clouds came next. In fact, the comet was faintly visible on 20 seconds images. The faintest stars on the single exposures were approximately 11m5.


A sum picture shows him small condensed with 10' tail, as images from Australia from the beginning of June.. I would estimate it at 8m0-8m
