Comments by OPC

General Comments: The results could be illustrative in showing the structure of the comets as revealed by different tracers. Unfortunately, the observations will be very difficult because of the small elongation of the targets.

Visibility: Both objects are very near the Sun in the sky.

Special Comments:

Expected time consumption (including overhead): About 1 hour.

Proposed facility: Crni Vrh, as proposed by the authors, seems the most appropriate.
