Update - New Image sets available in some folders - Please look soon

Greetings from the International Astronomical Search Collaboration
Update on Aug 2nd, 2010

Image Sets Available

Some schools have image sets from July 30th and August 1st in their folders.  These need to be downloaded and analyzed using Astrometrica.  There are possible Main Belt asteroid discoveries and important near-Earth object measurements to be made!!

It is critical that your students look at the image sets in their school folders as soon as possible.  Asteroid discoveries need to be made  within just one or two days of when the sets are placed into the folders.

There are 10 or so other sky surveys looking along the ecliptic for asteroid discoveries.  If your students wait more than a couple of days, one of these other surveys will make the discovery instead.

Happy Hunting!!
