CCD-image taken with a 0.7-m f/6.6 CDK astrograph that I could use as beta-tester from Q62 observatory in Australia (Siding Spring) of the iTelescope.net network. Image is a stack o 60 images of 15 sec. Each. Very disturbing moon with 40 ° distance of object. I could see a faint tail towards North-east with a p.a. Of 46 degrees. But this was only visible of the 6 first images.

Object was mentioned as VJ063BC on the Minor Planet Center confirmation page and later assigned as comet C/2014 J1 (CATALINA) via
