Comet C/2016 M1 (PANSTARRS) - 23 june 2016

During a raining day, I looked at the PCCP of the minor planetcenter website and saw an object to confirm. Observations of object, with 92% full moon and object on 86% of the moon,  from remote Observatories Sierra Nevada, Cal, USA with a 0.61-m f/6.3 telescope with I-Bessel filter. 7 stacked 180sec. CCD-images reveal a cometary feature with a coma of 10”   Later on 24 june., this object was assigned as comet C/2016 M1 (PANSTARRS)and issued in CBET 4286 : 20160624 : COMET C/2016 M1 (PANSTARRS)

COMET C/2016 M1 (PANSTARRS)

     Richard Wainscoat and Rob Weryk report the discovery of a comet in four W-band exposures obtained with the 1.8-m Pan-STARRS1 telescope at Haleakala on June 22.5 UT (discovery observations tabulated below), in which the comet appears softer than nearby field stars with a hint of possible asymmetry extended toward p.a. approximately 150 degrees (perhaps associated with a faint tail, but only very marginally visible)….

…  E. Bryssinck, Kruibeke, Belgium, notes that seven stacked 180-s images taken on June 23.3 with a 0.61-m f/6.5 astrograph (+ Bessel I filter) at the Sierra Remote Observatory near Auberry, CA, USA, shows a starlike nuclear condensation with a very faint coma 10"-11" in diameter (red magnitude 18.4-1.8).  H. Sato, Tokyo, Japan, relates that twelve….
