Comet Mitchell-Jones 1967f
Abstract
At the end of June a naked eye comet was discovered in the Southern Hemisphere, but it was a very difficult object for United States observers as it moved south parallel to the sunset horizon. An orbit calculated by Brian Marsden from approximate positions indicates that the comet will be visible only to far southern observers. Perihelion was on June 17, 1967 UT at 0.18 astronomical units. By the end of August, it is predicted to be only 10th magnitude, on August 30th.
