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.
James
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.
James
For this kind of money, if you don’t have to lug it up a mountain, what about a tracking equatorial mount like an HEQ5?
James
Yes, click on the three full stops at the end of the abbreviated list and all the names should appear. You’ve uploaded some cracking images; well done. Hopefully you’ve also submitted some of these to the relevant sections.
James
Ah, there is also a full copy of the index on the JBAA DVDs.
Again let me know if there is something specific you want to look up.
James
Bill,
In “The British Astronomical Association: The Second Fifty Years” publication (BAA Memoirs Volume 42 Part 2, 1990 December) on page 24, it says:
“… The Index to volumes 1-50 of the Journal was published in June [1963]. It had been compiled in 1940 by Mrs Reade who was then Librarian. Part of the Merlin bequest was used to finance its publication…”
Looking at the SHAs catalogue it looks like it is a separate publication, and not a memoir. The catalogue suggests there is a copy in the SHA library. I am going on Tuesday if there is something specific you want me to look up.
James
Thanks both.
Nottingham has a number of projects but these preferentially go to students between 3rd and 4th year it seems. So he is exploring other options too.
I’ve emailed him the Leiden link, thank you.

Uranus now has two images on the member pages (https://britastro.org/recent-images-by-category/157). Only Neptune, Pluto and Exoplanets have no members images.
James
Might there be hope for the yearbook?
