[BAA Comets] cobs.si

[Peter Carson]

Hi David,
I'm pleased someone has read my piece in the Comet's Tale!
You have to log into the COBS before you can use the Comet Observing 
Planner, otherwise the site doesn't know where you are in the world.
The session start units are YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm and the session length is in 
whole hours.
It works OK for me unless I enter a start time of 00:00hrs to 00:59hrs then 
I get the Python script error message.
Limiting mag and min altitude are in whole numbers. I don't use the min 
Solar and Lunar Elongation.
Hope you get it working and find it useful.
Peter

Hello,

I've registered with COBS.si, partly because - in his Tale article - Peter 
said that he finds it very useful. I'm having some trouble with the Comet 
Observing Planner - I'm getting Python script error messages. And it says 
the sun is above the horizon at 2300? Whether UT or BST this is not right!

Is there a little quirk that I don't know about? In what units should you 
enter the session time?

Thanks,

David Swan
