Hi Tom,

Thank you for the heads up. It looks like he discovered it with at hyperstar 
type setup on an 8" sct (60 second exposures at ( f 2.1) I have a hyperstar on 
an 11" (I think JD has the same but is in a better dark sky sight)  Hopefully 
the sky's clear sometime soon so we can take a shot at it. That now gives us a 
couple of comets to look forward to.

Thanks again,

Jimmy Ray
