	USATODAY.com - Comet making comeback after 341 years (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Kaoru Ikeya, 58, one of the two amateur astronomers who spotted the comet.
		The comet is the sixth one to be spotted by longtime skywatcher Kaoru Ikeya, who lives in central Japan.
		Ikeya saw the comet low in the sky just after sunset; in China's Henan province, Daqing Zhang saw it about 90 minutes later.

		Hunched at the eyepiece of his telescope early in the morning of December 29 in the Japanese city of Hamamatsu, Kaoru Ikeya suddenly grew tense.
		Ikeya became obsessed with astronomy in junior high school, where he had an opportunity to peer through a small telescope one night and saw the craters of the moon and the rings of Saturn.
		After graduation from high school in 1959, Ikeya got a job at a piano factory, where he is now a key polisher and earns $72.22 per month—enough to leave $6 per month for astronomy expenses after he contributes to the support of his mother and five brothers and sisters.

		Ikeya was using a 25-cm (10-inch) reflector, Zhang a 20-cm.
		As we reported in last Friday's AstroAlert, this comet was picked up visually on February 1st by Kaoru Ikeya of Shizuoka prefecture, Japan, and by Daqing Zhang in Henan province, China.

		By the way, Ikeya is not new to NEO science, since between 1963 and 1967, he discovered or codiscovered five comets.

		There is a new comet on the loose, and it will be visible to those observers who are willing to find a relatively dark location with a low horizon facing west and spend a little time scanning the heavens with binoculars.
		Kaoru Ikeya of Shizuoka, Japan was the first to report the comet on February 1.
		Discovered on February 1 by Japanese (Kaoru Ikeya) and mainland Chinese (Daqing Zhang) amateur astronomers, it is amazing that the comet was not first detected by an automated sky patrol.

	Comet Ikeya-Zhang (2002 C1)
		On February 1, 2002, Kaoru Ikeya of Mori, Shizuoka, Japan and DaQing Zhang of Henan Province, China independently discovered a ninth-magnitude comet.
		Apart from being notable as an amateur discovery in an age in which automated sky surveys such as LINEAR, BATTERS, NEAT, Spacewatch, and LONEOS are finding most comets while they are still too faint for amateurs to have a shot at them, it was also noteworthy because of the identity of its discoverers.
		Kaoru Ikeya had found five comets in the mid-1960s, including the spectacular Kreutz sungrazer Ikeya-Seki (1965 S1), but went through a 35-year comet-finding drought before co-discovering Ikeya-Zhang.

	The Hindu : Ga-ga over Ikeya-Zhang
		In astronomical parlance, the comet which was slicing through Pisces and heading for the sun, has reached the `perihelion' now.
		The comet, discovered by Kaoru Ikeya of Japan and Daqing Zhang of Japan on February 1 this year, has increased in luminosity, raising hopes of naked-eye visibility on dark nights, a phenomenon that occurs very rarely.The visibility would depend on the `magnitude,' which is the brightness of an object in the sky.
		Ikeya-Zhang currently appears of about fifth magnitude and is hoped that would eventually be as bright as third magnitude--which means that it is a fine comet, which can be seen clearly through binoculars or even faintly with the naked eye.

		TOKYO, Sep 20 (IPS) - A load fell off the shoulders of Kaoru Ikeya, a documentary maker for more than 20 years, when Japan's public broadcasting company, NHK, agreed to sponsor his documentary on China's Cultural Revolution, 'Daughter from Yan'an', for its release in November.
		''I had spent close to five years on the documentary and had to take an enormous gamble,'' says Ikeya of the film that focuses on the woman's search for her birth parents, former Red Guards who had abandoned her on the day she was born.
		Japan must tackle a market that is overtly controlled by the big producers and encourage risk-taking for a revival of the industry, he says.
