Scientific paper

Rob McNaught discovered his 31st comet, with the 0.5m Uppsala Schmidt camera at Siding Spring, on 2006 August 7.51. This was the 29th comet discovered with the telescope since 2004, when the Siding Spring Survey began. The Siding Spring Survey is the southern element of the Catalina Sky Survey, which includes telescopes at Catalina and Mt Lemmon in Arizona. The comet was 17th magnitude at discovery. The orbit suggested that it would be a bright object in the SOHO & STEREO fields when it reached perihelion at 0.17 AU on 2007 January 12.7.
