Comet P/2007 T6 ( IAUC: 8881 ) An apparently asteroidal object discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey (discovery observation tabulated below), and posted on the Minor Planet Center's 'NEOCP' webpage, has been found to show cometary appearance by J. W. Young on his CCD frames taken on Oct. 14.5 UT with the Table Mountain 0.61-m f/16 Cassegrain reflector, which show a slightly elongated coma, 8" x 12" in diameter, with a short, faint 20" tail in p.a. 310 deg (the coma being elongated perpendicular to the p.a. of the tail, more visible in short exposures)…..  Later in 2016 comet P/2007 T6 was recovered as comet P/2016 R1 ( CBET 4315 ) by Krisztian Sarneczky and P Szekely with the 0.6m Schmidt at Piszkesteto Station of Konkoly Observatory on September 1.08. It was not given a designation on the MPEC. It returns to perihelion 0.35 days earlier than predicted.    On Sept. 1.1 and 2.1 UT, the comet appeared completely stellar in appearance in a fifteen stacked 120-s exposures. and 2.1 UT, the comet appeared completely stellar in appearance in a fifteen stacked 120-s exposures.
