Comet 73P (Schwassmann-Wachmann) B, 04-30-2006
Fragment B of this disintegrating comet, the other fragment easily visible with a modest sized telescope. Harder to locate than C due to location (in Corona Borealis, no suitable marker stars nearby) and its being fainter than C. Hints of a possible stellar nucleus w/averted vision
