Comet 1983e ephemeris update. Information supplied from the
W.R. Brooks observatory. The comet's max magnitude is estimated
to be 5.3 the morning of June 12th. This is about as bright as
comet Austin was last summer and a lot dimmer than comet IRAS et.
al. It should be possible to see this comet with field glasses
if you are in a non light polluted area( a good test is if you
can see all of the stars that make up the little dipper then
you have execellent transparency). With the moon approaching new
and the comet reaching max magnitude this weekend looks like the
best chance to view this visitor to our skies.
