Comet C/2012 T5 (BRESSI) - 16 oct. 2012

CBET nr. 3258, issued on 2012, October 18, announces the discovery of a new comet (discovery magnitude 18.6) by T. H. Bressi on CCD mosaic images taken with the Spacewatch 0.9-m f/3 reflector at Kitt Peak on October 14.4. The new comet has been designated C/2012 T5 (BRESSI).

Follow up image was taken by me from my own backyard observatory (BRIXIIS observatory - B96) with a 0.4-m f/3.8 astrograph. 9 stacked images reveal cometary nature of this object.  Results of astrometry were published in

MPEC 2012-U38 : COMET C/2012 T5 (BRESSI)  and in CBET nr. 3258 issued on 18 oct.
