After a long delay we have revised the Observing Guide, originally
produced by Jonathan Shanklin, to bring it up to date. I'd like to thank
the section committee who have helped me with this task and I hope that
the new version will be of use to both novice and advanced observers.
Our intention is to keep this up to date with fairly regular updates.

Dear COBS users and comet observers

Due to a COBS servers system upgrade, we will have some website downtime on
Wednesday 17.05.2017.

The upload and editing of the observations will bi temporarily disabled the
evening before so that a complete backup of the system can be performed.

After the upgrade the page will be brought back online. Once everything is
in order the upload of new observations will be enabled again, and the page
will continue to serve as before.

Clear skies
Jure Zakrajsek
COBS Administrator
