Comet C/2012 X1 (LINEAR) - 9 dec. 2012

CBET 3340 comet C/2012 X1 (LINEAR) : An apparently asteroidal object discovered by the LINEAR survey (discovery observations tabulated below), and posted at the Minor Planet Center's NEOCP webpage, has been reported to show cometary appearance by numerous CCD astrometrists elsewhere.  L. Buzzi (Varese, Italy; 0.38-m f/6.8 reflector; Dec. 9.2 UT) reports that stacked images obtained in good conditions show a compact coma 8" wide of red mag 18.8 with no tail.......    

E. Bryssinck (Kruibeke, Belgium) reports that his Bessel R-band exposures obtained remotely with a 0.5-m f/6.8 reflector, also at the same Mayhill site (see http://www.itelescope.net) on Dec. 9.4 show a condensed circular coma of diameter 13" with no tail.  Red images obtained by G. Masi and F. Nocentini ...…
