I observed on fewer nights in 2023 than in recent previous years, partly due to unusually poor weather in May and September at my remote observatory in Extremadura, Spain. Numbers were also down because there were more times when I was away from home or doing other things.
Here are my observing statistics:
……………………………………..2023…..2022
Number of nights I observed….102……117
Number of comets observed…….71…… 90
Comet images submitted………453……502
Astrometry to the MPC………1350…..1420
Photometry to COBS………….412……472
Let’s see what 2024 brings. Happy New Year everyone!
