RE: C/2002 T7 (LINEAR) 
Does anyone know any news about this comet?  Was designation changed (perhaps to a minor planet)?  The last comet brightness estimate at CBAT was on May 1 (mag 15.3).

It took me a while, but I did find an ephemeris:
http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/Ephemerides/Comets/2002T7.html

It did have brightness estimates below 1mag, but again, this may be outdated.
