* C/2005 E2 ( McNaught )

Although it was faint as 16.4 mag at the discovery in March (Mar. 12, R. H. McNaught), then it brightened well as expected, and now it is 11.4 mag (Sept. 25, Juan Jose Gonzalez). It is very small with a diameter of around 1 arcmin, and very strongly condensed. In the Southern Hemisphere, it keeps locating high until November while the comet is getting brighter gradually. In the Northern Hemisphere, it had kept locating very low around 15 degree high, but it will be getting higher slowly after this. However, it will be only 25 degree high at most from October to December. It will reach to 10 mag in early 2006.

* 169P/NEAT

It was recorded as an asteroid at the discovery in 2002. It returned again now, and the faint tail was detected and it revealed to be a comet in fact. It passed very close by the earth in August, brightened rapidly from 15 mag to 12 mag. It brightened furthermore in September when appearing in the morning sky again, and reached to 10.3 mag on Sept. 14 (Juan Jose Gonzalez). It is very bright still now, 11.0 mag on Sept. 25 (Michael Jager). Although it was diffuse in August, now it seems getting strongly condensed. It is getting higher gradually after this. It will fade out rapidly after this, but it will keep bright visible visually for a while.

* C/2004 B1 ( LINEAR )

It was expected to reach to 9 mag in 2006 spring. But actually, it is much fainer than expected. It brightened up to 13.9 mag on Aug. 1 (Michael Mattiazzo). Then it was expected to brighten rapidly and reach to 11 mag in late September. Although it is not observable in the Northern Hemisphere, it is observable in good condition in the Southern Hemisphere. However, it is actually only 12.4 mag in October (Oct. 2, Michael Mattiazzo). It seems to be a comet with very slow brightness evolution, similar to C/2003 T4. It will be 11 mag at best. After 2006 March, it will be observable in Northern Hemisphere for a long time while it is getting fainter.

* C/2005 P3 ( SWAN )

New comet discovered by many people in the SWAN images released in late August. It was bright as 9.5 mag visually (Aug. 25, Alan Hale). It has already passed the perihelion on Aug. 9, and it faded rapidly in September. Now it faded down to 12.2 mag (Sept. 21, Juan Jose Gonzalez). Because it is very diffused, it was reported faint around 15 mag by CCD observations. It will be higher in the morning sky after this. But it will be 13 mag in October. In the Northern Hemisphere, it must have been visible in good condition in the evening before the discovery, however, it is unobservable after this. It passed near by Owl Nebula and Galaxy M108 in late September. The excellent image by Michael Jager is published.

* C/2005 N1 ( Juels-Holvorcem )

It reached to 11.4 mag in August (Aug. 12, Juan Jose Gonzalez). It was expected to start fading since early September. But actually, it keeps bright as 11.5 mag still on Sept. 30 (Juan Jose Gonzalez). In the Northern Hemisphere, it keeps very low in the morning until mid October, with an altitude of around 10-15 degree. Then it will be higher gradually, however, it will be fainter than 14.5 mag when the altitude becomes higher than 30 degree. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is unobservable until December.

* 9P/Tempel 1

It kept bright as 10 mag from May to August, and it was still bright as 10.9 mag on Aug. 5 (Seiichi Yoshida). However, it has already started fading, and it faded down to 11.7 mag on Sept. 3 (Jose Carvajal). Because it is very diffused, it was reported faint around 15 mag by CCD observations. It is already very low in the evening in the Northern Hemisphere, and few observations have been reported recently. But it keeps observable in the Northern Hemisphere locating very low in the evening until December with an altitude of aroud 17 degree. In the Southern Hemisphere, it keeps locating high until November.

* 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1

It had been so faint as around 15 mag since May. It had been too faint to see visually. It was also invisible visually, fainter than 13.5 mag on Sept. 3 (Reinder J. Bouma). But an outburst occured on Sept. 9 and brightened to 13 mag (Stephane Garro). Now it is very strongly condensed.

* C/2005 A1 ( LINEAR )

In January when it was visible in the Northern Hemisphere, it was an 11 mag small object. However, after it has gone to the southern sky, it brightened rapidly and reached to 8.0 mag from March to April (Mar. 4 and Apr. 7, Alexandre Amorim). After the perihelion passage on Apr. 10, it turned to be fading slowly. It is bright as 12.3 mag still now (Sept. 3, Reinder J. Bouma). In the Northern Hesmisphere. It keeps observable in good condition while fading gradually. The split of the nucleus was found on June 25. Both nucleus can be detected on CCD images. No effect of the split was found on the total brightness of the comet.

* C/2003 K4 ( LINEAR )

It was bright as 7.5 mag in early January, easy to see with binoculars. However, it faded and got diffused rapidly in the evening sky after that. It faded to 10.7 mag on Mar. 15 visually (Alexandre Amorim), and 11.5 mag on Apr. 4 by CCD observation (Mitsunori Tsumura), then it became unobservable. The fading after the perihelion passage is slow. It is visible visually still now, bright as 12.8 mag (Sept. 30, Juan Jose Gonzalez). Because it is distant from the sun, it can be visible visually as 12-13 mag for a while.

* 21P/Giacobini-Zinner

Although it became brightest about 2 weeks before the perihelion passage in its last appearance in 1998, it kept brightening until the perihelion passage in this return, and reached to 9.2 mag on July 2 (Carlos Labordena). After that, it faded down to 10.4 mag on Aug. 5 (Seiichi Yoshida). It must be already faint as 13 mag, but no visual observations were reported recently. It faded down to 13.7 mag on Sept. 3 by CCD observations (Ken-ichi Kadota). It will be fading while locating around 30 degree high after this in the Northern Hesmisphere.

* C/2003 T4 ( LINEAR )

The brightness evolution had been slower than a typical comet since its discovery until the perihelion passage in early April. Although it had been observable only until March in the Northern Hemisphere, it has been observed continuously in the Southern Hemisphere, and it kept bright as 8 mag from mid March to mid May. It had been low until early July even in the Southern Hemisphere. The comet has faded out rapidly while locating low. No observations have been reported since mid May. However, it was observed on Aug. 1, when it was still bright as expected, 13.0 mag (Michael Mattiazzo). But no observations have been reported since that. Now it is apearing in the morning sky also in the Northern Hemisphere. But the altitude keeps very low around 10 degree until the end of 2005.

* C/2004 Q2 ( Machholz )

It was fantastic, so bright as 3.5 mag, so large as 30 arcmin, locating high overhead at its best time in early January. Then it has been getting fainter and smaller gradually, 12.5 mag on Sept. 3 (Edwin van Dijk) and 13.6 mag on Sept. 30 (Katsumi Yoshimoto). The diameter is small now, about 2 arcmin, and very diffused. In the Northern Hemisphere, it keeps observable in good condition for a long time while the comet is bright enough visible visually until October when it becomes faint as 14 mag. Although it has been observable in the Northern Hemisphere for about one year since its discovery, now it is getting lower and lower. It will be too low in the evening sky in October. But it will appear again in the morning sky at 15 mag in December, then it keeps observable using CCD cameras until next summer.

* C/2003 WT42 ( LINEAR )

It brightened from 18 to 15 mag from the end of 2003 to early 2005. The brightness evolution was much faster than that of a typical comet. Although it had been too low for a while, it is getting higher again now. It was 14.9 mag on Sept. 3 (Ken-ichi Kadota), as bright as expected. It will be already visible visually around 13.5 mag.

* 161P/2004 V2 ( Hartley-IRAS )

In its last appearance in 1984, it unexpectedly brightened after the perihelion passage, and reached to the maximum brightness about 45 days after the perihelion passage. In this return, it was 11.3 mag around the perihelion passage (June 16, Juan Jose Gonzalez), but it continued brightening even after that, and reached to 10.2 mag on July 2 (Juan Jose Gonzalez). However, it turned to fade out 20 days after the perihelion passage in this time. The unexpected brightening in its last appearance seems to be an exceptional outburst. It already faded down to 12.6 mag on Sept. 3 (Reinder J. Bouma). Because it is very diffused, it was reported so faint around 16-17 mag by CCD observations. It is getting lower in the evening gradually, and will be extremely low between October and November.

* P/2005 R2 ( Van Ness )

New comet. Although it was reported so faint as 16-20 mag by CCD observations, it is actually much brighter than the ephemeris in the public announcement. It is actually 14 mag (Sept. 24, Michael Jager). It does not look so diffuse on Michael Jager's image. It is also visible visually as 13.6 mag (Sept. 25, Werner Hasubick). It keeps observable in good condition until winter, but it will be fading gradually. It must have been observable as 15 mag in 2004 spring and summer, but it was not discovered at that time.

* P/2005 K3 ( McNaught )

It was 16.8 mag at the discovery in May (May 20, R. H. McNaught). Then it brightened rapidly, and reached to 14 mag now (Aug. 2, Michael Jager). It is also visible visually as 13.7 mag (Sept. 3, Edwin van Dijk). Because it moves in the northern sky, it keeps locating high for a long time in the Northern Hemisphere. It will be visible visually at 14 mag until November.

Although the CCD nuclear magnitude was reported so faint as 16.5-17 mag, it is actually bright as 15.7 mag (June 26, Giovanni Sostero). Sharply and strongly condensed with a narrow long tail. It will be 15 mag both in 2005 summer and 2006 summer. It moves southwards, so the condition in the Northern Hemisphere is better in 2005. It was visible visually as 13.8 mag (July 28, Seiichi Yoshida).

Recovery of a peculiar asteroid 2004 FS101 discovered in 2004 spring. Although it was 18 mag in mid January, it has been brightening rather faster than a typical comet, and it reached to 16 mag in early September. It will be 14.5 mag around 2006 January. It keeps observable at 15-16 mag for a long time from 2005 spring to the end of 2006. Because it moves in the northern sky, it keeps observable for a long time in the Northern Hemisphere. However, it will be rather low when the comet becomes brightest. It was not visible visually, fainter than 14.0 mag on Aug. 5 (Seiichi Yoshida), when the altitude was high.

Although it was faint as 16.4 mag in January, it brightened to 14.6 mag in May when it became at opposition (Jan. 26 and May 31, Ken-ichi Kadota). It was also visible visually as 14.3 mag (May 7, Juan Jose Gonzalez). Then it was predicted to be slightly fainter, however, it brightened furthermore visually, 13.8 mag on July 10 (Reinder J. Bouma). But on the other hand, the CCD nuclear magnitude became reported fainter, 15.5 mag in July. It is already low in the evening, and will be unobservable soon. It will be observable again as 15 mag in 2006 summer, then it will fade out.

* C/2004 D1 ( NEAT )

It brightened from 19 to 17 mag during a half of a year from summer to winter in 2004. The brightness evolution was rather faster than that of a typical comet. It had been very low for a while, but now it is getting higher again. It was 17.1 mag on Sept. 12 (Yuji Ohshima), as bright as expected. It will be observable in good condition as 16 mag for a long time until next spring.

* P/2005 JQ5 ( Catalina )

Although it was so faint as 17.5 mag in early May, it brightened rapidly in June while approaching to the earth down to 0.1 AU, and became visible visually as bright as 10.3 mag on June 25 (Juan Jose Gonzalez). Because it was so close to the earth, it had a very large and faint coma with a diameter of 4-8 arcmin. Surprisingly, it was detected on survey images on June 24 as a very bright and large object, 8-9 mag with a diameter of 20 arcmin (Terry Lovejoy). When it appeared again in the morning sky on Aug. 5, it was still visible visually, bright as 10.5 mag, but extremely diffuse (Seiichi Yoshida). Then it is fading out rapidly as expected, 12.5 mag on Aug. 14, and 14 mag on Sept. 1 (Michael Jager). Because it is very diffuse, it was reported so faint as 18 mag by CCD observations in mid September.
