| Designation | C/2002-X5 (Kudo-Fujikawa) |
| Object type | Comet |
| Description | Independently discovered mid-December 2002 by the two named japanese amateur astronomers, this comet proved to be on a parabolical path and will most likely never return to the sun. When the image was taken, the comet was visible in binoculars at around mag 6.0 low in the southwestern sky. The 75% waxing moon was bright in the sky. The multicolor streaks are star trails caused by the 3 times 4 images taken through the red, green and blue color filters; they document the comet's motion against the background of fixed stars. |
