[vsnet-chat 5280] Interesting rendezvous in April

[Seiichi Yoshida <comet@aerith.net>]

Dear colleagues,

Here is the list of interesting rendezvous in April.

Comet LINEAR (C/2000 WM1) passes by Nova Aql 2001 discovered by
Collins.

Comet LONEOS (C/2001 OG108) passes by Polaris, picked up because
Polaris is a variable star.

I guess TK4 and TK5 are some strange objects, but maybe I am
wrong. Anyway, Comet Snyder-Murakami passes by them.

Comet Ikeya-Zhang passes by MisV1147, a strange variable star
discovered by the MISAO Project.

Comet Ikeya-Zhang also passes by delta Cep, a typical star of DCEP
type variable stars, and mu Cep, Garnet Star.
