About 12 hours ago I speculated that a new comet had been found in
the morning sky. This has now been published on IAUC 8557, with orbit
and ephemeris details on:
http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/mpec/K05/K05N10.html
Juels is using a 200mm f/2.8 telephoto + CCD for his survey, so there's
no great optical power being brought to bear here. The comet is expected
to brighten somewhat to about mag 13 over the coming two months, but
will remain close to the Sun in the pre-dawn sky.
