Hi all

Check out the latest SOHO C3 and C2 images. There is a beautiful bright comet approaching the sun complete with slightly curved tail. I made an independant find myself (my 12th find) on Sunday when it first appeared as a tail less object on the LASCO images. It was reported earlier by a very dedicated Japanese SOHO comet hunter...enjoy!

coruscations attending the whole length of the luminosity, giving to the phenomena the aspect of a wrathful messenger, and not that of a tranquil body pursuing a harmless course..comet of 1680
