RE: [APML] Visual on C/2001 Q4 (NEAT)...

Sounds like a perfect job for my schmidt camera!  Thanks for the heads up on
the rapid motion.

Bobby,

If my calculations are correct.  Comet NEAT will move about 12.5"
per minute.  At 165 mm, an acceptable guiding tolerance is around
25"; therefore, you could "guide" on a star for about 2 minutes
before the comet starts trailing.  Because of this, I would
recommend guiding on the comet.
