• LINEAR returns north I was not able to use the 60cm telescope on May 28 due to the public viewing night at the observatory and observed with the ε210 telescope. The nucleus was well-defined and it was relatively easy to measure its position. However, I wonder if the results of the measurements are good, as the telescope is f/3.0 with the focal length being 630mm, though it is superbly well focused. Soon after shooting C/2002 T7 it became overcast. Kochi entered the rainy season on May 29.
