Very good conditions allowed
these recordings of the comet
*mag
= > light magnitude:
Up to
mag
+3 or +4
stars are visible nearby cities with the naked eye, in
very dark areas the seeing limit can reach up to
mag +6.
The more higher numerical value is given, the more weaker
are the objects. E.g.
- 4,7 mag, Venus glittering;
- 1,0 Sirius,
brightest star;
+ 3,5
