Notes. 

(a)

The heliocentric and geocentric distance of the component during the observations, respectively;

(b)

the position angle of the extended Sun-target radius vector as seen in the observer’s plane-of-sky, measured counter clockwise (east) from reference frame, North Celestial Pole;

(c)

the phase angle Sun-comet-observer.
