Hi Doug,
Possible archival sungrazer in C2 frames from 8 october 1997
The object is fairly faint but it is obvious. It's looks like a round and fuzzy blob without tail.
It is visible in 5 consecutives images;
Positions measured from the bottom-left corner of the1024x1024 frames are :

Doug, I am not sure that it is a new comet because Soho33 is very close in the time. But the comet page web
(comets_table_1997.html) give : 1997 Oct. 7.99 for the perihely of this comet.
So my object comes in the C2 field eight hours after Soho33 ! Is it an error on the Web page or am I right ?
Regards

Doug,
I also found the Comet that Xavier Leprette just reported also
of the same date, but I was a little too late reporting it :)

Possible archive sungrazer in C2 images from 11 October 1997
This can only be seen in one frame as the frames before
and after it are cropped versions. I am currently downloading the
C3 images to see if it's visible there, but I don't hold out
much hope. This image is faint diffuse and looks like a tail.

Please note this was a very hard one on to see on the 512 images
and it goes into the middle streamer the coordinates below
are from me using a magnifying glass and well, they could be off
a bit..but it is well seen on 1024 size.

then added my name at the end of the form! Sorry! getting
use to the form and posting better in future...

There is a comet in c3 at the following positions (based on
upper left 0,0):
11/04/00 09:42 610,679

Archive sungrazer in C2 images from 1 November 1997
This is very faint, hardly any condensation, it's all tail!, and
is visible in 5 frames. It is very difficult to get positions
for this. I have put positions for the first 3 images, and I can
see the comet in the other two images if I animate them.
Also it is much further over to the left than I would expect for
a Kreutz sungrazer.

Possible real time sungrazer in C2
But, and this is big BUT, if this is a comet, we may never know,
just as the object was on 2 frames there was a massive CME
which caused the detector to get almost saturated with noise.

The real time comet in C2 reported by Mike I can't see
but teh times it was reported threw me off, I thought
it was an old time since looking at the form note the
times from the bottom to the top for today, they go;
Nov 8 2000 15:44:38
Nov 8 2000 20:08:52

Should they not be in order like 15, 18, 20?

This post covers all objects reported between Nov 17, 2000
and 1830 UT on Nov 21, 2000. This means, for the first time
in weeks, we're caught up, at least as far as confirming reports.
SOHO numbering is tentative. Times are approximate.
Anything not listed which was reported in that interval has
been rejected. Contact me if you wish to dispute any of this.

Sorry, but I missed this one on the last post. It was
reported in the same e-mail as another comet, and because of
the formatting of that post, I managed to overlook it.
This is yet another case of 'twin' comets (with the one reported
as SOHO-250), though they differ significantly in brightness.

Appareance of the possible comets :

The second one (X2,Y2) is fairly bright, condensed with a hint of a short tail.
Both are visible in 6 consecutives images.

Two possible archival sungrazers comets in C2 frames
from 24 november 1998
First possible comet.
The object is visible in 7 consecutives images.
It is faintly bright and condensed. It looks like a small
stellar point without tail. I'm not sure that it is a real
object but the distance between each image seems correct.
The appareance is similar to Soho-206 for instance.

Second possible comet.

images. It looks like a small blob with a short tail on the
second and the third image.

This first message concerns comets which have not been confirmed
as new finds. It covers posts from Nov 21, 2000 at 16:30 up to
the J. Danaher post on Nov 24 at 07:20 plus the J. Ruebush post
on Nov 27.
I have not been able to confirm the following posts:

X. Leprette Nov 22 2000 02:39:31
The J. Ruebush object is, as M. Meyer said, a real comet, but one
originally reported by S. Stezelberger, back in May, 1997. It is
C/1997 H2 (SOHO-8) See

I have confirmed the following comets reported up to 1600 UT on
Nov 28, 2000. There is one report still to be resolved,
otherwise, we are up to date.
As always, SOHO numbering is tentative and the times are approximate.

Wondering why there are no images today?
See http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/whatsnew/
SOHO is in CRP mode (10:59 UT).
The transition to CRP mode has started (04:00 UT).
SOHO is in safe mode. SOHO experienced an Attitude Control Unit
(ACU) reset at 00:19:22 UT on November 29, 2000, and went into ESR at
00:19:31 UT. The roll rate is positive at 0.1-0.3 deg/sec. Spacecraft
engineers and the Flight Operations Team are examining telemetry from
the time of the ACU reset, and currently plan to transition the
spacecraft to Coarse Roll Pointing (CRP) mode in a few hours.
So far, no reason to worry.
