[martinastro]

Hi all

Just to let you know that comet 2006 VZ13 LINEAR is now mag + 10.3 and much brighter than expected. It is currently in the circumpolar northern sky moving from Lacerta into Cepheus. It is expected to reach mag 7.3 in July making it a binocular object. Here is a link and chart.

That looks promising Martin, although we could do with a bit darker sky to see it in of course.

Tried for it last nigth Paul but the sky was rather bright but having said that it is high in the sky and getting better located between the head of Lacerta and Delta Cephei. I will catch it soon...
