    That’s a great capture David, especially for something so low down in the sky. Well done!

    Many thanks for your replies, Denis and Jack.

    That’s a very nice commemoration, Robin. Let’s hope we get an equally bright nova before long. And thanks to Bill Barton for highligting the centenary.

    Felix de Roy, one time VSS director, produced a series of articles in Ciel et Terre, Volume 36 of the Bulletin of the Société Belge d’Astronomie in 1920, covering the early course (and lightcurve) of the nova. In one of the papers he considers observations made before June 8. It’s in French, but makes an interesting read, especially the names of the great observers of the time.

    Sad news indeed – the passing of a giant.

    It was Maurice’s pioneering CCD work in the 90s that encouraged me to start CCD imaging.

    Excellent Sky Notes Nick  – well worth watching. Sorry I missed the live version of your talk in London yesterday.

    Your Sony A7 camera is certainly yielding wonderful results!

    Gosh, was it as long ago as that Robin?

    Good to see you are still following it even though it’s so faint.

    Thanks Alex – certainly looks like the same event.

    Sorry to hear about your travel woes, Bill. I had some delay too, but at least it was a splendid day at the Newcastle meeting. Excellent talks and good to meet up with folks, including you and Alex.

    >>It turns out the whole fleet has appropriate names for our community

    I hope you are not referring to “Monsoon”, James?!

    But, yes, indeed there are some most appropriate names.

    All the best,

    Thanks for sharing the link to Steve Shore’s explanation – it’s a really interesting read.

    That’s a great animation, Dave! And you were so lucky to have it passing close to the AR.

    Are you able to make a composite image showing the ISS in transit?

    All the best,

    Great image, Gary. Nice to see some activity on the Sun!!

    I was looking to see if you had any more images on the BAA Members’ Pages, but couldn’t find them  – it would be great of you could start your own members page.

    All the best,

    Jeremy
