[BAA Comets] Comet Section Programmes

Hi Nick,

I agree that a workshop of some description would be really useful. The 
MK meeting is probably not the best time for this, although observing 
techniques are on the agenda, but we are thinking of having a more 
informal Comet Section meeting at a smaller venue sometime next spring. 
This would give us the opportunity to discuss comet observing techniques 
from widefield imaging and searching to deep imaging of distant comets, 
along with all the associated hardware and software tips and tricks.

Nothing is definite yet but watch this space. I'd certainly be 
interested in hearing what people would like to have at such a meeting. 
The Humfrey Rooms at Northampton is a possible venue. This has been used 
for many BAA section meetings and it is relatively easy to get to from 
north and south.

It would be nice to get some clear skies so that I could actually 
observe some comets but, at least in the south-east, we appear to be 
under semi-permanent rain clouds at the moment.
