I just received message about new comet discovery. Find below parts of IAU Circulars 6188 and 6187.

G. J. Garradd (Loomberah, N.S.W.). 0.25-m f/4.1 reflector + CCD. 5-sec exposures show coma diameter 1' and slight elongation to the north. S. Yoshida (Wakayama). 0.25-m f/6.3 Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector + CCD. Communicated by S. Nakano, Sumoto, Japan. T. Kojima (YGCO Chiyoda Observatory). 0.25-m f/6.0 reflector + CCD. Comet has some condensation and seems extended toward the north; m1 = 10.5-11.0. Communicated by Nakano. T. Kobayashi (Oizumi). 0.25-m f/4.4 reflector + CCD. Communicated by Nakano. R. Kushida and Y. Kushida (Yatsugatake South Base Observatory). 0.25-m f/6.3 Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector + CCD. Tail 43" long in p.a. 5 deg. Communicated by Nakano.
Total-visual-magnitude and coma-diameter estimates: July 24.164 UT, m1 = 11.0, 1' (A. Hale, Cloudcroft, NM, 0.41-m reflector); 24.28, 10.6, 1'.7 (C. S. Morris, Pine Mountain Club, CA, 0.26-m reflector; possible tail visible to the north).
COMET 1995 O1 Independent reports of the visual discoveries of a new comet have been received from Alan Hale and Thomas Bopp, with available observations given below. All observers note the comet to be diffuse with some condensation and no tail, motion toward the west- northwest.
