COMET P/2000 U6 (TICHY)
An object found by Milos Tichy on images taken at Klet with
J. Ticha and M. Kocer on Oct. 23 (discovery observation below),
originally reported as asteroidal, was subsequently noted to be
diffuse on Klet images taken during Oct. 28.9-29.2 UT; Tichy also
noted a 10" coma on Oct. 29.8 images. Images obtained on Nov. 1 by
S. Sanchez and M. Blasco at Mallorca and by D. T. Durig at Sewanee
also showed diffuseness. MPEC 2000-V03 contains the available
astrometry and orbital elements (T = 2000 Oct. 4.6 TT, i = 19.3
deg, q = 2.150 AU, P = 7.3 yr).
