Image sets from July 6, 7, 8, 9, & 10 are available

Greetings from the International Astronomical Search Collaboration

Image Sets Available

Image sets from July 6, 7, 8, 9, & 10 are available.  Every school has image sets to analyze.  Check your folders!!

Remember, only send your MPC reports to the new IASC email address at iascsearch@hsutx.eduiascsearch@hsutx.edu>.

MPC Reports

There is also a new email address for the ARI Observatory.  In your reports instead of listing ari@mchsi.comari@mchsi.com>
as the email address that must always be changed to ari@astro-research.orgari@astro-research.org>.

You can make this a permanent change by doing the following:

1.   Start Astrometrica
2.   Load ARI-24.cfg
3.   Go to Settings (green wrench on the tool bar)
4.   Change E-Mail from ari@mchsi.comari@mchsi.com> to ari@astro-research.orgari@astro-research.org>.
5.   Save
6.   OK

You need to repeat this procedure for ARI-32.cfg, as well.

Also, it is very, very important that you include the name of the target, date, and telescope in your MPC reports.  This is how IASC keeps track of your students and what they have observed and discovered.

Finally, each object that your students measure must have three, and only three, datalines.  There is one dataline from each of the three images in a set.  You must see the moving object on all three of the images.

Need More Schools!!

More of the schools from India need to be participating.  At the moment only 6 or 7 of the 28 signed up are involved.  If for some reason your school is unable to participate, please notify Mila Mitra at milam@space-india.orgmilam@space-india.org>.
