Details:
The telescopic comets of mid-February 2024 are active with interesting events. A few days ago comet 144P/Kushida has a close conjunction with Aldebaran. Now Comet/Centaur 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann had a 2 magnitude outburst on February 12, 2024 continuing its remarkable history of outbursts. Comet 12P Pons-Brooks is developing a forked tail, still faint, after the past months of its remarkable morphology changes. Comet 62P/Tsuchinshan had a close conjunction with galaxies NGC 4608 and 4596. All images captured over the night of February 12-13 2024.
