[BAA Comets] Comet Section Officers

[Nick James]

Morning all,

Roger Dymock, our outreach and mentoring coordinator has asked to step 
down from that role with immediate effect. Roger has told me that his 
astronomical interests are now focussed on exoplanet work.

I would like to thank Roger for the support he has given me over the 
past few years. He has been one of the few people from the section who 
has been submitting total comet magnitudes estimated using images from 
remote telescopes. This is a complex and difficult subject and Roger is 
one of the few people who have taken this on, helping others with his 
knowledge.

Roger also maintained the Project Alcock website which contained notes 
and guides on many different aspects of practical comet observing and 
imaging. This site is no longer active but I hope, with Roger's 
agreement, to move some of the articles to the main comet section 
website over the next few months.

I'm sure that we all wish Roger well with his exoplanet work and hope 
that comets will still be on his target list every now and again.

If anyone would like to take up the outreach and mentoring role please 
contact me directly off list.

Nick James, Director.
