Haibin Zhao (Purple Mountain Observatory, XuYi Station) discovered on September 17, 2007 a new magnitude 18 comet on CCD images obtained with the 1.04 metre, f/1.8 Schmidt telescope.
The object was confirmed by observations of LONEOS from the 8 to 15 September 2007 by Tim Spahr. Preliminary orbital elements of the comet P/2007 S1 (Zhao) indicate a perihelion passage on December 10, 2007 at a distance of 2.5 AU, and a 7.46 years period.
