2014 Nov. 29 (7 comets)
I observed 7 comets visually on Nov. 29 in Kita-karuizawa, Gunma, Japan. After a low atmospheric pressure went away, the weather became fine rapidly. There were many clouds in the evening. But it became fine with no clouds in the morning. I also tried to observe C/2012 K1 locating extremely low. I could guide my telescope just besides the position. However, I could not observe the comet due to trees and clouds. C/2013 A1 ( Siding Spring )
C/2014 Q2 ( Lovejoy )
C/2014 Q3 ( Borisov )
C/2014 R1 ( Borisov )
