This object, mentioned as UE5961C on the NEOCP was imaged by me by use of a remote telescope from iTelescope.net, Siding Springs Australia, images obtained by use of a 0.51-m telescope. After examine the image it looks for me that this object was a possible comet, because this object reveal cometary appearance and has a coma of about 12 arc.sec and a hint of a tail in p.a. 120°. I reported this to MPC ans CBAT, unfortunately I was to late the announcement was just made on CBET 3435: 20130308 : COMET C/2013 E1 (McNAUGHT)
