Hey Rob,

Congratulations on your 76th comet discovery!!

Okay, Rob, I know that you've found more than 76 comets (but just like with meteorites, it's just the ones that get published that they count;-)

but in any case, it must be a real hoot to have one of your "kids" be tagged as "SOHO's 1500th Comet Discovery".

Way to go homey,
Bob V.

Hi All,

Karl Battams at NRL e-mailed me Thursday morning to tell me the good
news: that my Kreutz comet find Wednesday evening turned out to be
SOHO's 1500th (and #76 for me):

As I told Karl, I knew the count was getting quite close to 1500, but
didn't want to jinx myself by reading through the pages of recent
confirmed discoveries to see exactly how close! --Rob
