All observations were made with my 10"-Dobsonian. Enlargement is 45X, field of view 1 deg. Time of observation was always within 5 minutes around 21h UT and the comet was always less than 5 deg above the horizon. After some cloudy evenings I could not detect it any longer on 1st of June and the following days.

During the three weeks I stayed on La Palma I visited Roque de los Muchachos Observatories several times. I had the chance to take lots of pictures of interesting telescopes, e.g. the italian TNG 'Galileo', which is a 3.5-m diameter F/11 Ritchey-Chretien telescope of the NTT-class.
