	Comet Austin is still on course but has dimmed to 
about magnitude 6.2. I observed it on Sept 4 about 9 pm EST.
For those who wish to search for it this week it will be within
a few degrees of the star Beta Canes Venatici which is 
sometimes known as Chara. It will be hard to see with field glasses
unless you have a observing sight well away from city lights.

	For people who have been bitten by the comet bug
another comet, comet D'arrest, will pass within a degree of 
M-9 the evening of sept 7th. It however is only 10th or 11th
magnitude at this time. It should brighten through the month
of September.
