BRIXIIS Observatory activities

a clear night but with not so good transparency. i observed some comets: 119P, A/2019 O2, C/2019 K7, C/2021 Q3 and a possible comet, mentioned on the PCCP, unfortunately could this object not detected in my CCD-images. spectra that could be obtained are: HD208392, HD206773, HD 205551.

a clear night and meanwhile the grey nights are over and we can observe again. following comets were on the list: 132P, 193P, 284P, C/2017 K2, C/2019 U5, C/2020 PV6, C/2020 S3, C/2021 D2, C/2021 E3, C/2021 O3. Spectroscopic observations are made of following stars: V2148 Cyg, V568 Cyg, 20 Vul.

The observing conditions were not good, overcast clouds disturbed the sky so that the faint comets were difficult to detect. comets that are observed are: 69 (not detected), 255P (not detected), 382P (not detected), C/2017 K2, C/2019 U5, C/2020 K1, C/2020 PV6. spectra could be obtained of V986 Oph, tet Crb, recurrent nova RS Oph, 6 Cep.

Tonight I welcomed G. De Cock during the observations, Geert was the founder of Antares amateur astronomy association where I joined in 1999 and where I gained my astronomy knowledge. I was able to observe some comets like: 6P, C/2017 K2, C/2019 T3, C/2019 U5, C/2020 PV6, C/2020 K1. With the C11 and spectroscope I could observe the nova RS Oph, V357 Lac and 28 Cyg.

After the clouds had disappeared, I could start with observations. A few comets were observed + an object that might be a comet and is listed on the PCCP of minorplanetcenter. This object could be detected and later assigned as comet C/2021 P4 (ATLAS) on aug. 21 . comets which are observed are: C/2017 K2, C/2019 U5, C/2020 PV6 and C/2021 E3. Spectra were recorded from nova Cas 2021, nova RS Oph, KY And and EW Lac.
