BTW, it often occurs that a bright comet locates within the view field of a frequently observed variable star by chance. So I come to list up such rendezvous in the Comet Rendezvous Calendar: http://www.aerith.net/comet/rendezvous/current.html Here is the list of rendezvous between a visually observable comet and a frequently observable variable star in January and February. 2002 Jan. 5 6h UT 2.647 deg (158.8 arcmin) C/2000 WM1 ( LINEAR ) 21h47m.3 -53o45' 5.7 mag NSV 06819 (?) 21h53m.5 -56o15' ? mag 2002 Jan. 17 10h UT 2.946 deg (176.7 arcmin) C/2000 WM1 ( LINEAR ) 20h41m.0 -53o48' 5.5 mag TT Ind (UGZ) 20h33m.6 -56o34' 14.0-<16.5 mag 2002 Jan. 17 12h UT 0.969 deg ( 58.1 arcmin) C/2000 SV74 ( LINEAR ) 23h02m.6 +54o14' 12.9 mag V425 Cas (NL) 23h03m.8 +53o17' 14.5-18 mag 2002 Jan. 19 0h UT 2.856 deg (171.4 arcmin) 96P/Machholz 1 19h04m.4 -09o31' 9.6 mag V373 Sct (NA) 18h55m.4 -07o43' 6.0-18.5 mag 2002 Jan. 20 7h UT 0.582 deg ( 34.9 arcmin) C/2000 WM1 ( LINEAR ) 20h26m.8 -52o50' 5.6 mag KK Tel (UG) 20h28m.6 -52o19' 13.5-19.7 mag 2002 Jan. 26 3h UT 0.683 deg ( 41.0 arcmin) P/2001 Q6 ( NEAT ) 18h11m.9 +66o11' 14.7 mag W Dra (M) 18h05m.6 +65o57' 8.9-15.4 mag 2002 Jan. 26 14h UT 0.494 deg ( 29.6 arcmin) P/2001 Q6 ( NEAT ) 18h11m.5 +66o19' 14.7 mag X Dra (M) 18h06m.9 +66o09' 8.9-15.8 mag 2002 Jan. 28 21h UT 0.684 deg ( 41.0 arcmin) 19P/Borrelly 12h59m.0 +47o14' 13.3 mag TU CVn (SRB) 12h54m.9 +47o12' 5.6-6.6 mag 2002 Jan. 29 0h UT 0.340 deg ( 20.4 arcmin) P/2001 Q6 ( NEAT ) 18h09m.2 +66o58' 14.9 mag IX Dra (UG:) 18h12m.5 +67o05' 14.7-18.8 mag 2002 Feb. 1 2h UT 1.387 deg ( 83.2 arcmin) C/2000 WM1 ( LINEAR ) 19h45m.7 -45o36' 3.2 mag QS Tel (AM) 19h38m.6 -46o13' 15.3-16.1 mag 2002 Feb. 1 8h UT 0.102 deg ( 6.1 arcmin) P/2001 Q6 ( NEAT ) 18h05m.3 +67o56' 15.1 mag EX Dra (UG+E) 18h04m.2 +67o54' 13.5-17.2 mag 2002 Feb. 4 19h UT 1.809 deg (108.5 arcmin) C/2000 WM1 ( LINEAR ) 19h38m.6 -42o41' 3.5 mag V3885 Sgr (NL+ZZ) 19h47m.7 -42o00' 10.3-10.5 mag 2002 Feb. 5 20h UT 0.543 deg ( 32.6 arcmin) 96P/Machholz 1 19h26m.5 -09o43' 13.6 mag DH Aql (UGSS) 19h26m.2 -10o15' 12.5-<17.0 mag 2002 Feb. 6 3h UT 0.894 deg ( 53.7 arcmin) P/2001 Q6 ( NEAT ) 17h57m.6 +69o26' 15.4 mag 3C 371 (BLLAC) 18h06m.8 +69o49' 14.2 mag 2002 Feb. 11 18h UT 0.489 deg ( 29.4 arcmin) 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 20h17m.7 -21o47' 13.9 mag RT Cap (SRB) 20h17m.1 -21o19' 8.9-11.7 mag 2002 Feb. 14 1h UT 2.311 deg (138.7 arcmin) C/2002 C1 ( Ikeya-Zhang ) 00h31m.4 -10o46' 6.7 mag S Cet (M) 00h24m.1 -09o20' 7.6-14.7 mag 2002 Feb. 16 4h UT 2.323 deg (139.4 arcmin) C/2000 WM1 ( LINEAR ) 19h27m.6 -33o17' 4.5 mag RY Sgr (RCB) 19h16m.5 -33o31' 5.8-14.0 mag 2002 Feb. 22 0h UT 0.543 deg ( 32.6 arcmin) C/2000 WM1 ( LINEAR ) 19h25m.5 -28o27' 5.0 mag V730 Sgr (IS:) 19h23m.0 -28o30' 12.8-<17.5 mag 2002 Feb. 23 6h UT 0.221 deg ( 13.2 arcmin) C/2001 X1 ( LINEAR ) 05h42m.7 -41o13' 14.3 mag TX Col (XPM) 05h43m.3 -41o02' 14.5-15.8 mag 2002 Feb. 25 2h UT 0.076 deg ( 4.6 arcmin) C/2001 OG108 ( LONEOS ) 21h33m.7 +39o05' 12.3 mag V1426 Cyg (M) 21h34m.1 +39o04' 10.8-13.7 mag 2002 Feb. 27 19h UT 0.359 deg ( 21.5 arcmin) C/2001 OG108 ( LONEOS ) 21h34m.2 +40o28' 12.2 mag V632 Cyg (UGSS) 21h36m.1 +40o26' 12.6-17.5 mag 2002 Feb. 28 5h UT 0.138 deg ( 8.3 arcmin) C/2001 OG108 ( LONEOS ) 21h34m.3 +40o41' 12.2 mag V630 Cyg (UGSU) 21h35m.0 +40o40' 13.4-17.2 mag 2002 Feb. 28 7h UT 1.967 deg (118.0 arcmin) C/2002 C1 ( Ikeya-Zhang ) 01h00m.0 -00o27' 5.1 mag Z Cet (M) 01h06m.8 -01o29' 8.4-14.2 mag -- Seiichi Yoshida comet@aerith.net http://www.aerith.net/
