Discovery  ( CBET 4681 )

R. Weryk, Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii, writes that three 45-s i-band exposures taken on 2019 Oct. 19.6 UT with the Pan-STARRS1 1.8-m reflector at Haleakala, Hawaii, in 1".0 seeing show a very condensed coma of diameter 1".6 and a straight tail about 2" long in p.a. 110 degrees.  Weryk also reports finding pre-discovery images of C/2019 T4 on four stacked 45-s w-band exposures taken on Feb. 2.3, which again show a very condensed coma of diameter about 1".5 (and magnitude 22.1-22.6) and no tail in 1".4 seeing; however, he remarks that the image appeared slightly extended.  H. Sato, Tokyo, Japan, finds a strongly condensed coma 8" in diameter and no tail on twelve stacked 60-s exposures taken with a 0.51-m f/6.8 astrograph at Siding Spring on Oct. 22.7; the magnitude was 19.0 as measured within a circular aperture of radius 4".9
