Bernhard's Comet and Asteroid Project (MPC code: B82 Maidbronn)
Welcome Surfers from all over the world
The private Comet Project is open for
all lovers of comets. I invite all
comet and asteroid photographers, both amateurs and professionals to take part in this project.
We are publishing our images, analysis, actual news and share our love to comets
and asteroids.
News: periodical comets, non-periodical comets

Comet C/2007

(Lulin) is starting its morning visibility. (January, 6 2009)
Tony Farkas and the team of Slooh.com are opening the great show of Comet Lulin
in the morning of December, 29 2008.
On the 2.359 meters lofty mountain Teide on the Canary Islands they took the
first color image after the comets Sun passage.
The comet has a magnitude better than 8 now, so everybody is invited to
observe it with binoculars.
Michael Mattiazzo
is predicting an "edge-on" view to the comet
at its best visibility. -->

This means the comet could become brighter than expected with a several degrees

is approaching its perihelion this year.
I took this image at February,3 2009. The comet
is already showing a tail of 3'30".

Meanwhile from our Earth perspective, the direction of the main
tail changed to the "other" side of the comet.

Blinking a series of 60 images (total 180min.) of comet
116P/Wild at Febr.,15 2009,
I found three
asteroids, two of them are already known, one was seemingly a new object:
K09C45D
or 2009 CD45.
On Febr.,19 I could find the "new" object again on this
image of comet 116P/Wild.
I got the acknowledgement of the MPC today.
(February,
23 2009)
After three weeks of confusion I
could identify my new object on the following two images as 2009 BK163 and 2009
BR163,
detected by Spacewatch
at January, 31 2009.
Indeed I found two different objects, not a single one.
They had a similiar position, so I could easlily mismatch them.

Depending on its visual orbit angle, the
166P/Wild has 2 tails
counterwise in middle of March. Here is
my image from March,17.
