COMET P/2005 R2 = 2009 B3 (VAN NESS)
G. Hug, Scranton, KS, reports his recovery of comet P/2005 R2 on images
obtained with the 0.56-m reflector at Sandlot Observatory:
2009 UT R.A. (2000) Decl. Mag.
Jan. 31.36200 10 57 13.96 +00 44 12.1 20.7
A very faint, straight, narrow tail was observed extending at least 5-6 arcmin
in p.a. 300 deg. The indicated correction to the prediction on MPC 62880 is
Delta_T = -0.1 day.
The above observation and three others, together with a linked orbit
and an ephemeris, appear on MPEC 2009-C03.
