The cometary activity of Centaur 2014 OG392 (PanSTARRS) was detected at distance 10 AU from the Sun by Chandler et al. (2020).
I observed Centaur/comet 2014 OG392 on night of 11/21/22. The images were acquired with my Astro-Physics 305 mm, F 3.8 Riccardi-Honders at my observatory located in Pennsylvania. The images were acquired with N.I.N.A, version 2.1 and processed in Tycho-Tracker, version 9.4.2. My aim of the observations was to search for possible detection of cometary activity two year after its first detection. For the analysis, I stack of 50x120s exposures acquired on November 21. My analyzed shows activity on Centaur/comet C/2014 OG392 (PanSTARRS) at 10 AU.
