Comets
Observations, astrometry and photometry of comets.
Comets
This section collects comet observations for astrometric, photometric and morphological-evolution studies.
Comet Sky Map
A new page dedicated to comets appearing in recent MPECs. The default period is 30 days; the table uses the latest available measurement for each comet and is sorted by increasing magnitude, so the brightest comets appear first. Apparent motion, orbital parameters when available, and observer/reference selection are also included.

Reported comet magnitudes come from MPC/MPEC measurements and may be heterogeneous in band, aperture and observing convention. The dedicated page uses them as the latest available measured value and does not automatically treat them as a homogeneous light curve.
