Hi David ,You are a very active observer, especially of comets including 174p. However I am not certain that you are submitting your observations to the Comet Section for archiving and future analysis. For the Section to be able to use your valuable work in the future you should consider contacting Nick James and sending him your observations of comets.

You're right - I will do in future. Here's hoping Heinze brightens nicely as it moves closer and moves north in declination. Happy Christmas. David
