Apologies if this is old news, but as well as Comet Jacques in July,

There's now an asteroid turned comet in June,

Fingers crossed, thanks for the heads up. Hoping to catch a comet with my camera this year, even if its just a tiny smudge.

This sounds like a very interesting object to observe and hopefully image.

Does it has another designation though, rather than C/2013 UQ4?  I only ask because I cannot seem to bring up the orbital elements for down load to stellarium.

Thanks for the link -  hopefully a nice autumn object.

I don't know, Astrodam, this is very fresh news (that it's a comet) so may be there will be an update along soon, I'm guessing.

Thanks for the heads-up Landgirl, that is all very interesting.

I can hear the sound of many fingers being xxed
