- Quite easy to position on the 18'' Télerad, and is thus quickly in the center of the 35 mm (X 60). Surprising because very visible with this rather low magnitude.
- Its magnitude: m = +/- 11 . (It can be compared to the stars TYC 4031 0767 m = 11.2 and TYC 4031 1269 m = 11)
- Center well defined, Coma quite contrasted and well limited, from which starts a tenuous and relatively long tail.
- Diameter of the Coma. = +/- 1'12 ( Measured against GSC 4031 6023)
- Tail length = +/- 6' (near GSC 4031 10147)
In conclusion, this ''little comet'' is worth the detour!...
