[BAA Comets] Fwd: COBS mail on ICQ import (Richard Miles)

Sun Jan 17 01:11:39 GMT 2016

Hi Richard,

Thanks, great that it this is helpful for you. There is only 84
observations of 29P prior to 1977 at this time. Is the Whipple archive mote
extensive and, if so, could we import it as well?

Best, Johan
