Two things to point out. First, you will notice that I have not included any 96P fragment reports in here. That is because I still need to try and figure out which ones are new, and which ones are indeed the known fragments from previous years. At first I did not think we would be able to link any of them to older reports, but I think we actually can. This will take a bit of work though. I will get to it soon.

Second, you will see confirmations of archive reports from 1997 and 1998. I have a list of around 200 (!!) archive reports that I need to go through, so this is the first of those. There were some reports also from 1996 and earlier in 1997, two of which are real but are not included here because the FITS data breaks my astrometry software. As soon as we fix that bug, I will add them in. There were several reports from this period that I could not confirm at all.

So I have not decided if I will finish the archive reports completely before moving on to the 96P fragments and then February, or if I will take a break from the archives to do some more realtime reports. Either way, they will all get done!

As always, please email me with questions, comments, etc.
