Reports from Geisei Observatory <October 6, 2003>

• P/2003 S1(NEAT), P/2003 S2(NEAT), C/2003 S3(LINEAR), C/2003 S4(LINEAR)
It has become a little cooler in October and faint objects are easier to photograph. But atmospheric turbulence may become a negative factor in photography.
Inside the 6-meter dome I have been struggling with guiding while gazing at the crosshairs.
