COMET P/2012 H1 (PANSTARRS)
G. V. Williams, Minor Planet Center, has linked single-night sets of
astrometry from 2002 (found by Rob Matson, Newport Coast, CA, USA, in online
NEAT data) and 2003 (found by Williams from CCD mosaic observations obtained
by M. T. Read with the Kitt Peak 0.9-m f/3 Spacewatch reflector) to comet
P/2012 H1 (cf. CBET 3097).
