    Eric,

    That would be great, thank you. I’ll drop you an email and I’ll work out how to get hold of one.

    The power of kindness and of the BAA Forum 🙂

    Peter, are you trying to upload images to your Member Page? 

    If you go to “my account”, then select “Edit account details” and scroll down and make sure the “Show profile” box is ticked. Click save at the bottom. Then go here: 

    https://britastro.org/member_profiles

    And along the top should be an option “upload image”…

    If that is not the case, let us know.

    It seems there have been a few other observations of the event. I’ve not seen if anyone has identified any scars yet.

    Paul, 

    Yes it’s exciting; cloudy in Nottingham and my C11 is at the telescope hospital anyway.

    There is another forum thread about the supernova:

    Jeremy and Andy Wilson published a brief article on it also this morning:

    Looking forward to seeing your images of it.

    Whilst looking for something else I came across this thread where Martin had uploaded a talk Patrick gave in 1997. It’s a lovely talk. Worth bumping up the list of forum topics to allow others to enjoy it [again].

    Anthony,

    Yes, we are sorry about this. We hope to have that talk in its entirety available in the next few days – it was a great talk so worth waiting for.

    Bill, that is it of course; zooming right in I can see there is slight movement in the position of the terminator from the start of the clip to the end, moving in a westward direction. That makes much more sense; I will pay more attention next time I’m in one of your talks 🙂

    Marc,

    This is very helpful and useful to know. My fragments are too small to rub on anything I fear but at least I now know what to do if I find something bigger.

    Nice work Bill; I’m still blown away by the spectra you guys can get.

    I was trying to get my meteor camera back online over the weekend, but one thing after another means it still isn’t collecting data, but now at least I know what the issues are and have a plan.

    It arrived today (well two copies as I got a copy for the Society for the History of Astronomy Library). It is much thinner than previous editions but still over 130 pages long; I like to initial look of it – very professional and nicely bound. Some interesting articles as well as the month by month guide. I think I’ll enjoy reading it.

    Peter, what a great thing to stumble on and what an interesting concept of someone promoting the Copernican theory here in England.
