[BAA Comets] Comet 46P Wirtanen

[Richard Miles]

Helen,

Comet 46P is on your FTS images of August 4 - so no worries.
However - I tried using Astrometrica and the images weren't playing ball for some reason.

  Hi Peter,
  I should have some Faulkes Telescope data waiting for me when I get home from holiday later. Hoping the MPC position isn't so far out that I didn't get the comet!  Will post up position once I've analysed 🙂

    Hi All,
    Here’s my first image of comet 46P Wirtanen taken yesterday morning 2018 Aug 11th. http://www.astromania.co.uk/46P_201808110224_PCarson.jpg
    The comet appears to be some distance off the MPC predicted position (RA +1.4’ DEC +0.7’), but I’m sure it is 46P I’ve measured.
    To make me feel better has anyone else measured its position recently?
    Peter
