COMET C/2004 G2 (SOHO)
     Further to IAUC 8309, K. Battams reports his measures for a
comet (discovery observation below) found by T. Hoffman on C2
coronagraph images posted at the SOHO website.  The reduced
astrometry and orbital elements by B. G. Marsden appear on MPEC
2004-H01.  The object appears to be a member of the Meyer group
(cf. IAUC 7832).

COMETS C/2003 K10-K12, C/2003 L3-L8, C/2003 M1-M7 (SOHO)
     Battams and K. McGleam also report their measurements of
numerous Kreutz sungrazing comets found on SOHO C2 website images
by P. Shkreby (C/2003 K10 and L6), D.-h. Chen (C/2003 K11), T.
Hoffman (C/2003 K12), X. Leprette (C/2003 L3), R. Kracht (C/2003
L4, L5, L8, M1, M3, M4, and M6), M. Meyer (C/2003 L4), M. Boschat
(C/2003 L7 and M5), K. Cernis (C/2003 M1), J. Sachs (C/2003 M2),
and X.-m. Zhou (C/2003 M7).  Comets C/2003 K10, C/2003 L5, C/2003
M1, C/2003 M2, and C/2003 M5 were also visible in the C3
coronagraph.  The reduced astrometry and orbital elements by B. G.
Marsden appear on the MPECs cited below.
