It is now more than one year and a half since Comet Schuster (1975 II) was discovered on an ESO Schmidt plate. It still holds the record of having the largest known perihel distance, about 1,030 million kilometres, and after having passed through the perihel on January 15, 1975, it now recedes slowly in a slightly hyperbolic (open) orbit, according to the latest orbital computations. Towards the end of 1977, it "crosses" the orbit of Saturn, and due to the comet's exceptional size, it should be possible to follow it for another several years.
