I've done good work and received my obs.code with an Orion Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:07:59 GMT Andrea Boattini http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22545 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22545 Reiner, Part of the problem is that the NEOCP posted my new objects in near real time, but not the updated data during the night in the same automatic fashion.

It seems that asteroid astrometry isn't that popular anymore in Japan: http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/iau/special/AmateurDiscoveries.txt A Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:05:38 GMT Bill J Gray http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22543 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22543 Hello all, A small note: I'm getting many solutions for 9V04008 that are as much as a degree east of the current NEOCP ephemeris. The uncertainty map shows a Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:00:45 GMT Bill J Gray http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22542 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22542 Hello all, A while back, I was discussing a lost close-approacher with somebody and mentioned that it would be really nice if there was somebody in Hawaii, Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:39:30 GMT Bill J Gray http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22541 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22541 Hello all, The Rosetta spacecraft will be flying by us on 13 November. I thought this should be mentioned, since it's already been mistaken once for a natural Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:27:31 GMT Scotty Degenhardt http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22540 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22540 Has anyone considered asking the PROMPT network to try this one? They always have at least one site in the dark. Scotty Columbia, TN USA Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:25:31 GMT Reiner M. Stoss http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22539 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22539 ... I think it is rather unlikely that anyone will be able to find this one again. Uncertainty should be huge by now. It is moving already at half a degree Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:21:34 GMT Andrea Boattini http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22538 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22538 Thank you Peter, I just saw your message.

It looks like we are having a near miss. Thank you, Andrea Boattini The Catalina Sky Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:46:18 GMT pbirtwhistle http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22536 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22536 9V04E48 on the NEOCP now has just been updated with more positions from 703 and should pass within 21,000km around 21:30 UT (in 3 hours time) and be Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:11:01 GMT StefanK http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22535 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mpml/message/22535 Hello to all, as I regurarly read MPC Observer Summary Pages I can say that just a few of mpml members use SkyMoprh/NEAT images archive for precovery work.
