Hmm, the style is very different from my observations. That is probably because I am a comet observer. I often spend 10 or 20 minutes for one object, not only to measure the magnitude but also to enjoy the figure! Anyway, I will continue to search rendezvous for bright comets after this. I will report the rendezvous of C/2002 F1 discovered by Utsunomiya in next week. Best regards, -- Seiichi Yoshida comet@aerith.net http://www.aerith.net/
