Hi All,

A few things to note:

I cannot confirm these two reports from Jiangao: report_jr_20240612195954 or report_jr_20240614113313

Hanjie's comet on June 16 did not behave photometrically like a Kreutz-group comet, so I asked Rainer Kracht to look at the orbit. It seems it is most likely a non-group comet (q~0.044,i~67,node~63).

And finally, many congratulations to Sudeshi!! It is very rare for a new project participant to find a comet with their first report, and even less common that it is a non-group comet. Fantastic work, and I hope you continue to stay with the project! (Sudeshi: I don't think I have an email address for you, but please reach out to me if you have any questions about the project.)

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