[vsnet-chat 5444] Pre-discovery rendezvous of C/2002 O6

Dear colleagues,

I searched pre-discovery rendezvous of C/2002 O6.

It passed by three frequently observed variable stars just before the
IAUC was issued. However, there seems to be little possibility to be
discovered by chance during variable star observations.

Please see the web pages for more information:

Best regards,
