C/2002 T7 (LINEAR), 2003/11/18 UT

I observed Comet LINEAR T7 on Tuesday night from the ASH Naylor Observatory using a 17" f/15 classical Cassegrain at 162, 202, and 232x. Its coma was irregular in shape and consistency, with a fairly strong central condensation. Although the transparency was mediocre, the ninth magnitude comet was seen rather easily.
