[vsnet-chat 5272] Pre-discovery rendezvous of C/2002 F1

Dear colleagues,

I searched pre-discovery rendezvous of C/2002 F1 ( Utsunomiya ).

There are rendezvous only with Mira type variables and they all were
very low in the morning sky. So I think the possibility was very small
to be discovered by chance by variable star observers.

Please see the web pages for more information:
