Sky tonight for this month

Update from Patrick Miller on 29th July, 2010

Greetings from the International Astronomical Search Collaboration

No New Image Sets

There are currently no new image sets available in the school folders.  The Moon remains bright and the mirror from the 32" prime focus telescope at the ARI Observatory is being resurfaced.  In the next day or two the Moon will, of course, wane...and, the 32" telescope will be put back into operation.  When that happens and new image sets become available, they will immediately be placed into the folders.

Maintenance, weather, and bright skies are all part of astronomical research.  Without clear and dark skies along with an operating telescope, there is no data gathering.  However, be patient.  Image sets will be available in the coming days.

All-India Asteroid Search Campaign

The current All-India Asteroid Search Campaign continues through August 13th.  There remains lots of time over the next two weeks for important observations and possible Main Belt asteroid discoveries.

Happy Hunting!!

Dr. Patrick Miller
