Thank you so much @proteus-h I try my best. It takes me a few days to put these together, do some of the graphics, etc. Time consuming but enjoyable and a good distraction from everyday life! You don't do too badly yourself, I was actually thinking about your Aluminium battery idea just before while driving from the shops!

To answer the new comet discovery, I actually started writing about that with this article but it started to get too big because I had to introduce what a comet was, as well as why an amateur can still find them given big budget professional surveys are also sweeping the sky. The original article is coming, I just want to do it right and make it interesting without overwhelming the reader. For the time being let me answer your question simply: I deliberately search for comets and have found 6 with my own telescopes, and 11 with data from the SOHO spacecraft. Kindest, Terry
