Celestron C11 @ f/10

Losmandy G11 Gemini GOTO

Genesis home made CCD-camera with KAF 1602 E

Date: 15 jan 2005 - 23:25 UT

Af(rho) data according CARA approach

Af(rho) data comet C/2005 K2 on 14 june 2005

Comet C/2005 K2 (LINEAR) experienced a split of the core, I could observe this split as well with my C11 and GENESIS CCD-camera. I could measure the distance with the help of E. Jehin and he send my data to the MPC. Later the data was published in the IAUC 8566: on 12 july 2005
