COMET C/2023 V4 (CAMARASA-DUSZANOWICZ) Jordi Camarasa (Sabadell, Barcelona, Spain) reports the discovery of a somewhat-diffuse comet by Grzegorz Duszanowicz (Akersberga, Sweden) and himself on CMOS-camera images taken on Nov. 5.1 UT using two 0.28-m f/1.9 Schmidt-Cassegrain (Celestron C11) telescopes located at Duszanowicz's "Moonbase South Observatory" at the Hakos "Astro Farm" in Namibia (discovery observations tabulated below). Follow-up observations by Camarasa and Duszanowicz with a Celestron 14 f/7 telescope on Nov. 5.81-5.86 revealed a clear tail, and the cometary nature of the object was obvious. 2023 UT R.A.
