Comet Observations 7th December 2017
C/2015 V2 Johnson
2017 Dec 07.43 UT; m1= 13.5; Dia= 1.1'; DC= 5/6; 25cm L, f:5 (x166) [Chris Wyatt, Walcha, NSW, Australia]
Coma diffuse, with faint stellar central condensation in periods of good seeing.
Comparison stars checked using APASS data in Guide 9.0; Method= M; Cat= AQ
C/2017 K6 Jacques
2017 Dec 07.44 UT; m1= 14.2; Dia= 0.9'; DC= 3; 25cm L, f:5 (x166) [Chris Wyatt, Walcha, NSW, Australia]
Coma very diffuse. Sometimes faintly stellar in periods of good seeing.
Comparison stars checked using APASS data in Guide 9.0; Method= S; Cat= AQ
C/2016 R2 PanSTARRS
2017 Dec 07.45 UT; m1= 11.2; Dia= 2'; DC= 3; 25cm L, f:5 (x39) [Chris Wyatt, Walcha, NSW, Australia]
Does not enhance in Swan Band filter. Coma appears elongated to the West approximately.

Please find enclosed a list of my recent comet observations in ICQ format.
Magnitudes are derived from large aperture photometry of CCD/DSLR images
(using green filter or green color channel) and are supposed to conform
to visual estimates of total coma magnitudes.
Remote observations were carried out using telescopes from iTelescope.net.
For image reduction and photometric analysis I used my AIRTOOLS software
(see https://github.com/ewelot/
