Description

No doubt, it's a comet! But currently it's on PCCP as object A10VCQK. Located in a Tucana constellation of the Southern sky and relatively fast moving (1.88"/min) in the South West direction.
Coma is 0.3' in diameter and a tail length is 0.5' at PA 272 deg. According to my estimation object A10VCQK is 16.8 mag.
