Confirmations for March 2021 [Updated]
Here are the confirmations for March 2021. A number of distractions have kept me from posting these sooner, so apologies for that.

There were reports from Worachate on March 11 and Sergey on March 12 that I cannot confirm.
While not included in these confirmations, many congrats to Szymon on the recent extremely bright Kreutz comet that we saw! Definitely one of the brightest we've seen with SOHO, and a visual magnitude peaking probably around +1.0. Really nice comet!
Oh and please note that I will be out-of-contact until Monday May 17, so will not be able to respond to any messages until then. I probably won't get chance to update the discovery tables on the website until then either.

UPDATE: I had originally missed Michal's report on March 06, 2021. That has been added as SOHO-4154.
