[vsnet-chat 7277] Nova Oph 2006 and D/1986 W1

[Seiichi Yoshida]

Dear colleagues,

  http://www.aerith.net/comet/rendezvous/current.html

A lost comet D/1986 W1 will pass near by Nova Oph 2006, just
discovered in this February by ASAS.

But the position and brightness of D/1986 W1 are extremely uncertain.

2006 Mar.  4   4h UT  0.165 deg (  9.9 arcmin)
  D/1986 W1 ( Lovas 2 )		17h33m.2  -24o11'  20.2 mag
  Nova Oph 2006			17h33m.2  -24o21'  11.5 mag

Best regards,
