We are only two months away from this meeting. The topic is "robotic 
exploration of the Solar System" and we'll be covering current and 
planned planetary missions and how amateur astronomers can help support 
them by observations from Earth or by processing raw mission data. Of 
particular interest to comet observers I'll be talking about 
ground-based observations in support of the Rosetta mission but we also 
expect a lively discussion on the data flow in the other direction (i.e. 
the timely availability of raw spacecraft data to amateurs).

This meeting is organised in conjunction with the North Essex 
Astronomical Society and the entry cost is £3 for BAA/NEAS members and 
£5 for non-members.
