Have you ever been in a telescope?

Possum Observatory - John Drummond, New Zealand Congratulations to Terry Lovejoy from Brisbane, Australia on his photographic survey discovery of a magnitude 9.5 comet in the deep southern sky! IAU Circular No. 8819 states - COMET 2007 E2 Terry Lovejoy, Thornlands, Queensland, Australia, reports his discovery of a comet with a strong central condensation and a green extended 4' coma, with a slight extension to the southwest, on sixteen 90-s CCD images obtained on Mar. 15 with a Canon 350D camera (+ 200-mm f/2.8 lens); the coma diameter was given as 5' from his Mar. 16 frame (his positions below have estimated uncertainties of +/- 15"). At Lovejoy's request, J. Drummond (Gisborne, New Zealand, 0.41-m reflector) confirmed the comet visually at mag 9.5 (moderately condensed, coma diameter 2'.6, no tail). Well, at least we know how the comet got that name.

I wonder if he knows either Hale or Bopp?
