<div>Dear firends,</div>
<div>I like to share with you a short visual short on four comets made by Claudio Prà. He observed during the night of Nov. 13 from Passo Giau at 2,200 m (Dolomites) with a 20x90 binocular, from 20 UT to 4.30 UT. A small comet maraton.</div>
<div>Best regards</div>

<div>P/64 Swift-Gehrels</div>
<div>surprisingly very easy to observe, close to Beta Andromedae. 5-6' diameter coma nearly uniform in aspect (D.C =2) but very evident above the sky background. Close to m1 = 9</div>
<br />
<div>46/P Wirtanen</div>
<div>At a scarce elevation above the horizon in Fornax. Quite large, diffuse and elusive coma confused with the sky background (D.C. = 2). But not too difficult to observe because of the fairly good sky condition. No false nucleus is visible. Approximate magnitude estimate, m1 around mag 7.</div>
<div>P/38 Stephan-Oterma</div>
<div>Small comet relatively condensed (D.C.=3) within the rich starfields of Gemini. More easy to see then in previaus days. m1 close to 9.</div>
<br /><br />
<div>C/2018 V1 Machholz-Fujikawa-Iwamoto</div>
<div>Not high above the horizon, close to Gamma Virginis. Small size and D.C =5, fairly bright around m1 = 7. In the coma I can spot the false nucleus. </div>
<br /><br />Claudio Prà<br /><br />
