[Atmob-discuss] Comet Holmes Alert

[Rothchild, Joseph]

I saw the comet as more symmetric with a dense core in my 6" at around 11 PM=
.  It reminded me of the Blue Snowball in my 9x50 finder.

Wow, Peter,
That is quite different from what I saw and recorded. Also different from Ma=
rio's photo with the Wingaersheek 32-inch. At least my observation of a shoc=
k wave is confirmed ! 
Apparently the comet was changing on an hourly basis.
