I updated the website with more than 10 observations of last month of comet 260P/MCNAUGHT (collaboration with F.-J. Hambsch from his resmote observatory)
During this hot evening, i started with comet observations and spectroscopic observations of some Be-stars. Be-stars which are observed are: 28 Cyg, omi And, omi Cas, lam Cyg, gam Cas . Unfortunately later on this … Read more
Together with my astro-friend, F.-J. Hambsch we started with an observingcampaign for comet 260P/MCNAUGHT on a question of an Italian astronomer. So we started on 8 july to observe this comet.
