[BAA Comets] 21p

[Nick James]

Denis,

Nice image. Yes 21P is now available in the morning sky and it is 
showing a faint tail in PA 250 or so. The MPC elements have still not 
been updated and the comet is around 2 arcmin east of its predicted 
position.

Let's hope this comet will put on a nice display later in the year.

Nick.

It is currently some way from its predicted position as can be seen on the attached image taken from my observatory at Tarbatness Highland Scotland.
