Description

Object A10X1pX from PCCP page is definitely a comet! I imaged it remotely earlier today using a 0.18-m f/2.8 hyperbolic astrograph + CMOS (Deep Sky Chile Observatory, MPC X07). 6 images were taken, 60 sec exposure each. Object is bright (m1=12.7) and fast moving, displaying large and diffuse coma 2.5' in diameter.
