Comets of the Late Autumnal Sky!

Please look towards the latest edition of the Professor Comet report now posted on the HAS website! The Comet of greatest interest is C/2012 K5 (LINEAR) now moving thru the northern edge of 'The Big Dipper' asterism of the circumpolar constellation Ursa Major (Great Bear) from 6 - 23 December and passing by Muscida 'The Nose of the Bear' the evening of 27 December 2012! Also observe 168P/Hergenrother before it gets too faint as it moves eastwards across the 'hind legs of Pegasus' primary asterism of Andromeda moving closely and north of the 'Great Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 31)' between the evenings of 19 - 23 December 2012!
