Reports from Geisei Observatory <April 30, 2003>

• C/2003 G1(LINEAR), C/2002 T7(LINEAR), C/2003 F1(LINEAR), P/2003 F2(NEAT), C/2003 H1(LINEAR), C/2003 E1(NEAT)

Recent spring-time hazes degrade photographic quality, resulting in faint stars not shown as brightly as in CCD images. Particularly faint comets such as C/2003 F2 require typically an exposure of 20-30 minutes.
