New Comet C/2020 H2 (Pruyne)

[theskyhound]

A new comet was recently discover and designated. It is a pre-dawn object that is reported to be 13.2 mag with a 1.4' coma (Alan Hale). I have added it to the ST4 current comets list. Because it is more difficult to add, the ST3 list will have to wait until I do the monthly update on May 1.

This comet was discovered at perihelion (0.8 AU) and is at its best right now. Catch it while you can.
