Title

The 30.805/03/2019 I observed the comet 209P from the observatory of Frasso Sabino. Cassegrain from 369mm reduced to F/6.66 (2460mm of focal length) and scale of 1".34/pixels with North at the top and east on the left (framed field 22'.8x28'.5. Are the sum of 21x90s. The Comet does not seem active yet and even slightly weaker than expected (mag. About 18.5 using UCAC stars). Also It was close to bright stars as seen from the picture.
