Michael O’ConnellParticipantThaty’s amazing Alex.
Would be cool if they found a LIF crater.
Hopefully they are using their computing resources to search for them.
Michael O’ConnellParticipantThanks Janice.
Michael O’ConnellParticipantThanks folks.
Alex, I just had a check in Occult and interstingly, in Jan 2029, there will be 4 occultation paths from this asteroid passing over mainland UK in the one month!7 July 2026 at 9:31 pm in reply to: Hayabusa2# – flyby of near-Earth asteroid (98943) Torifune on 2026 July 5 #641932
Michael O’ConnellParticipantNot sure why, but this link works better for me Alex.
Michael O’ConnellParticipantThanks folks.
Michael O’ConnellParticipantThat’s great, thanks Paul.
I use The Sky X Pro.
WHen I download the Ephemerides as a data file, the software doesn’t read it.
The only way I could get it to work iss to manually copy/paste the data parameters for each satellite.
Is that what you do, or do you use other software tools?
Thanks,
Michael.
Michael O’ConnellParticipantInformation above as shared by Terry Moseley.
Michael O’ConnellParticipantWhy does she say:
“You can see this historical event on the 27th March around midnight” ??
Michael O’ConnellParticipantI watched the meeting online.
Very nice presentation Jeremy. Well done!
Michael O’ConnellParticipantI suggest reading this thread on the Solarchat forum before placing a bid:
https://solarchatforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=454855#p454855
In particular, the comments from Stephen ‘solarchat’.
Michael O’ConnellParticipantThe motion of the comet is quite apparent each evening.

Approx 5 deg long tail.
Easy naked eye target tonight.

Michael O’ConnellParticipantOoohh that’s interesting!
Michael O’ConnellParticipantGood man Andy!
Well done!
Michael O’ConnellParticipantThanks Peter for that info. Much appreciated.
Michael O’ConnellParticipantGood stuff. Thanks Ian.
Michael O’ConnellParticipantI’m not a fan of side by side for balance reasons.
I also don’t like placing a heavy scope on top of a SCT.
The torsion of a heavy scope at top of the SCT combined with the torsion of the SCT on to the mount may be applying quite a strain on the OTA strucure that I wonder does it place pressure on the corrector glass?
I would suggest Parallax rings.
Michael.
Michael O’ConnellParticipantHi Kwong
Yes, I used a program called Set’N’c to automate the exposures and allow me to enjoy the eclipse visually.
All details of each photo are outlined on each image page.

Michael. -
