Do you do comet reporting? or plan to?
I don't know who to contact. Do you?

Unfortunately the mystery object moved 180"/minute = 3 degrees per hour, so it is an exercise in spherical coordinates and a lot of look to calculate where it will be tonight, even with my 15x10 degree FOV. I will convert three of the images to FITS. If Rick can read them I may get a predicted position for tonight, and we hope it is clear.
