Suggestion for September Observation Target

[Kain]

I just bought the new S@N mag, and this month there are 4 comets about!

Comet 4P/Faye - Between Aries and Pisces 12 + Mag but getting brighter

Comet 29p/Schwassmann-Wachmann - Taurus though only +15mag

Comet Swan C/2006 M4) This was discovered in July this year. +9.7 brighting to +8.1 towards the end of the month

Comet 177/PBarnard 2 (2006 M3) in Draco and is circumpolar. it's currently +8.8 and will be +9.6 by the end of the month

Just thought it it would be something quite interesting, and a little challenging.

These will hopefully be the first comets I will see thought a telescope! Comet Swan will probably be the easiest.

No one interested I take it?

Not at all, Kain!

Martin is away at the moment, but rest assured, he will get this sorted on his return.

Some interesting choices though, but I would say that some may be impossible for people with smaller apertures. The first two are going to be just visible in an 8" - easy in your 10" of course!!

I wouldn't got that far. Can just throw M3 into the hat for starters?

and of course M45, visually under low power is stunning!
