Most helpful, thank you. I'll post here in the unlikely event I get a
pic worth looking at. (Actually, I got a decent pic of what I believe
[from its brightness] to be fragment B in the wee hours of 04/26, but I
want more, more. I think I can confirm which fragment it was via some
lightweight astrometry.)
I'm not a regular comet hunter/observer -- just hoping to get some pix
/early/ Monday A.M. Comet observers seem to be a different breed -- I
scoured the "CometObs" Yahoo group in addition to other web sites and
learned that they have a particular reporting format that I'm certain
meets /their/ needs. It gives a great description of the various
components /without/ giving their sky coordinates. Huh!? But their
shtick seems to be the use of binoculars, rendering RA and Dec
superfluous.
