[BAA-ebulletin 00825] Computing section asteroid and comet charts

[BAA electronic bulletins service]

I'd just like to let you know that the Asteroid and Comet ephemerides and 

charts have been updated, and available for viewing on the Computing Section


website:

http://britastro.org/computing/charts_asteroid.html

http://britastro.org/computing/charts_comet.html

 

Charts are available as either an interactive chart (whereby hovering the 

mouse over an object will provide more details), or as a red on black 

non-interactive version that would be suitable for retaining night vision.

Asteroids chosen are based upon those of a brighter nature (not greater than


12.0 magnitude) as they reach opposition.

The Comets chosen are compiled from a list provided by the Comet Section 

website (http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~jds/)

 

To all members, I would encourage you to have a wander around the Computing 

section website, as there a quite a few very useful programs to assist with 

your observations, not to mention data and links to useful third party
websites.

 

Enjoy
