[BAA Comets] DM001 EPHEMERIS

[Nick James]

Denis Buczynski and I imaged this comet this morning from Tarbatness, 
Scotland. It was surprisingly bright and easy to find. Andrew Robertson 
and Peter Carson also had a good view through Andrew's 18-inch telescope 
in Suffolk. They also commented that the comet was bright and easy.

Our image was taken with the comet in a misty part of the sky but a 
faint tail is just visible:

The latest ephemeris is attached using all astrometry so far. I've done 
this starting 60 days before now and the positional uncertainties are 
now quite small. The comet has been at a small elongation for all of 
this time and was discovered when it was at its largest elongation. This 
is now decreasing. The comet has a small q (0.39 au) and is brightening 
rapidly.

Please try to observe this comet at any opportunity.

Nick.
