[BAA Comets] [asvcometsection] New outburst of 29P - Mag 14.6R

[Richard Miles]

Nice work John. 
Monitoring the comet for 3 hours is exactly what is called for.

On this occasion you were just a little too early to catch the rise to maximum, which happened at 2017 05 09.47 +/-0.10.

Good luck in the next 3-7 days.
I estimate we have a 1 in 3 chance of seeing another outburst during this period !

Clear skies,
Richard

  Postscript:-

  Jean-Francois Soulier observed the comet faint on May 08.40 from Chile.

  Has anyone imaged the comet between May 8.4 and May 9.6?
  If so then we may be able to narrow down the exact time of this medium-size outburst.

  Fingers crossed,

    Has any Australian or New Zealand observer imaged Comet 29P last night?

    It is now shining at magnitude 14.6R having been detected on May 09.60 as a 
    highly condensed stellar-looking pseudonucleus.
