CBET 4825:  COMET C/2020 P1

     J. P. Chesley, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, saw on the infrared images taken on aug. 2-3 by the Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) that an object has an apparant coma, that the object's point-spread function appears fuzzier and twice larger than a typical stellar PSF in both NEOWISE W1 and W2 (3.4- and 4.6-micron) channels, likely indicating a cometary coma; there is no evidence of a tail.  After the object was posted on the Minor Planet Center's PCCP webpage, cometary appearance has been confirmed by CCD astrometrists elsewhere.... (Snip)

... E. Bryssinck writes that fifteen stacked unfiltered 60-s exposures taken remotely on Aug. 8.0 by F.-J. Hambsch and himself with a 0.4-m f/6.8 telescope of a private observatory in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, shows a 10" coma and a tail about 14" long in p.a. 116 degrees.
