Comet Observations, Comet Levy 1990C

Scientific paper

Comet Levy 1990c, later designated comet 1990 XX and comet C/1990 K1, was discovered visually by David Levy of Tucson, Arizona, on 1990 May 20.44 and was his 6th discovery. The first Section observations were made on May 23. Closest approach to the Earth occurred at the end of August at a distance of 0.43 AU. The comet was followed from the UK until early September, by which time it had reached magnitude 4. It then moved too far south for observation from England, though observers living further south continued to observe it through perihelion. Further UK observations were secured in February and March 1991. The final observations were made in mid-April, when the comet was around mag 12.
