[BAA Comets] Mystery comets

[Nick James]

As a bit of a brain-teaser here are few comet-related mystery images to 
clear out the cobwebs after an excess of Christmas cheer.

In the process of scanning comet prints for our section archive Martin 
Mobberley came across a number of prints which were not sufficiently 
well marked for us to make a good guess at the object, observer or date. 
These prints are set out here:

Digital planetarium programs should allow us to make an unambiguous ID 
for the object and date. Observers may be a bit more difficult but some 
digging in the archives may help to identify where people were on 
particular dates.

There are no prizes for getting the correct answers apart from the 
undying admiration of your Comet Section Director. Please send any IDs 
to me at the email address below.

May I take the opportunity to wish you all a happy Christmas and let us 
hope for clear skies and a bright comet in 2020.

Nick James, Director
