Comments:     In the past 24 hours, a spectacular event has taken place involving the  periodic comet P/Holmes (17P). Its predicted brightness is about magnitude
17 however last night it was discovered by the Spanish amateur, Juan Antonio Henríquez Santana to have undergone a tremendous outburst having attained
magnitude 10 at that time (Oct 24 0h UT). It was a similar outburst in 1892 that led to its discovery. Latest reports (Seiichi Yoshida, Oct 24 13h UT)
indicate that it is stellar in appearance and 3RD MAGNITUDE in brightness: so bright in fact that it is readily visible to the unaided eye.
That's almost one million times brighter than normal ! Fortunately for UK-based observers the comet is well placed for observation and is visible throughout
the entire night. Its position at 0h UT tonight (Oct 24/25) will be: R.A. 03h 53.0m, Dec. +50 08' Its appearance will probably be that of a fairly
bright naked-eye star moving at an apparent rate of close to 10 arcmin per day at PA 298 deg.
It! is currently 1.63 AU (245 million km) from the Earth.

My comments:    I think it top fokus, but newton need a littel "laser" again...  The guide was not that good,  star are not 100% round.  And I think the
                                   Baader MPCC coma corrector  are not the right  place this time,  1-1,5mm more away from cam = give no coma at all, I have see it before.

                               And it was very low, only about 12 degree over horizon, and they was not good sky.  after 21:00 it was under the horizon again.  Anyway it was cool I have get it :-)
