The section image archive is an archive of over 27,000 comet images
including scans from old plates and films and the latest digital images
from observers around the world. At present the webpages associated with
the archive are here:
http://www.britastro.org/cometobs/
The current pages are generated statically each time the archive is
updated. This is not scalable long-term and it doesn't allow users to do
things that would be useful, i.e. select images between particular
dates, from particular observers etc.
The Comet Section is looking for a volunteer with knowledge of modern
web standards and languages who would be willing and able to rewrite the
archive pages to allow dynamic update of content based on a backend
database of image data.
If anyone is interested in getting involved in this project please
contact me directly.
Nick James. Director, Comet Section.
