Cbet nr. 3658, issued on 2013, September 27, announces the independent discoveries of a new comet (discovery magnitude ~18.0) by the Catalina Sky Survey 's 0.68-m Schmidt telescope (with no mention of the appearance of the object; observer R. E. Hill) and by Bryce Bolin, Jan Kleyna, Larry Denneau, and Richard Wainscoat from images obtained with the 1.8-m Pan-STARRS1 telescope on Haleakala. Bolin et al. wrote that the discovery images show two distinct nuclear stec components separated by approximately 3" towards a position angle of 240 degrees, and a diffuse tail that extends stec for approximately stec 14" towards p.a. 240 degrees. The new comet has been designated P/2013 R3 (CATALINA-PANSTARRS) . We performed follow-up stec measurements stec of this object on September 28, 2013. Below you can see our image of this comet, stacking of 20 unfiltered exposures, 120-sec each, obtained remotely from MPC code H06 ( iTelescope Observatory, New Mexico) on 2013, September 28.3, through a 0.43-m stec f/6.8 astrograph + CCD + f/4.5 focal reducer.
