COMETS C/2006 L6-L8, C/2006 M5-M9, C/2006 N1-N3 (SOHO) Additional Kreutz sungrazing comets have been found on SOHO website images (cf. IAUC 8738) -- all very faint except where noted below. C/2006 L6, C/2006 M5, C/2006 M8, and C/2006 M9 were slightly diffuse (and generally small), while C/2006 L7, C/2006 L8, and C/2006 M7 were diffuse. C/2006 M9 was also found by T. Chen. C/2006 L5-L8 and C/2006 M5-M7 peaked at mag about 7.5 or fainter. C/2006 N1 was tiny, faint, and stellar in appearance in C3 images; in C2 images, it was diffuse and very faint with a hint of elongation. C/2006 N2 was small and stellar in appearance, peaking at mag about 6.5. C/2006 N3 appeared stellar in C3 images, peaking at mag approximately 5; in C2 images, it was rather condensed with no tail, fading rapidly.
