| 62P/Tsuchinshan - 2024-05-10 (passing through Virgo) Sun Distance 1.99 AU (receeding) Linear Scale 25000-31000 ADU Background Sky Value 29020 ADU |
62P/Tsuchinshan - 2024-05-10 Detail 62P is receeding and will naturally be fainter than earlier observation in March 2024 but observation is not helped by the bright aurora sky The light signal associated with comet is less than the sky noise and the comet can't be seen |
