Comet C/2020 Q1  (Borisov) -  19 aug. 2020

Af(rho) data according the CARA-approach is available via request to CARA-coordinator

With my 0.4-m f/3.8 AG16 Orion Optics telescope, I observed an object temporarely named as gb00267 on the PCCP in the morning of 19 aug.  It was hardly to detect on the images due the huge lightpollution of the UMICORE facility in Hoboken. This object was positioned in that factory domelight.  

 COMET C/2020 Q1 (Borisov)                       

     This object was reported by Gennady Borisov on Aug. 18 UT as a possible comet appearing on exposures taken on Aug. 17 from MARGO (L51).  He noted a 25" coma, but no apparent tail.  Additional reports of cometary features are as follows:
