Slight motion suspected over 20 minutes. Observation confirmed sighting of the previous morning [Oct. 10.15 UT] when an object of similar appearance was seen moving near the expected position over a 25m period, but a nearby magnitude 6.0 star and windy conditions made a secure observation impossible. Check of DSS for both dates reveiled no interfering stars or galaxies near the position of the comet.) 2002 10 5.61 [13.0 27.5T 84 MAT Wallaroo, SA
