Welcome to the select team of asteroid hunters!
As you know, Phase I will start on May 16th. All your email ids (or for the coordinator in case of organizations) have been forwarded to IASC, and you will directly start getting emails from there. The steps again are as follows:
1. You will get a user id and password
Could be anytime on 16th or close to it.
2. Go to website
http://iasc.hsutx.edu/
Go to link All India Search -I and All India Search-II and look for your folder names.
If there are two teams from one school/org (Amity Int. Vasundhara, Bhaskaracharya, and Star Gazing Club) - check with me or look at the space website - www.space-india.org for which team you are in.
Teams and Team Members are listed here:

3. Login to your folder and download your data to your computer.
Do this right away even if you cant analyse then.
4. Open Astrometrica, and load this data and do the analysis - 'moving object detection' followed by 'manual detection'.
5. Create the MPC Report, and edit it on notepad:
a. Add all participant initial and last names, and school name in brackets.
ex. MEA A. Singh, M. Gupta, R. Raman (DPS Sonepat)
b. Add Image set name (which should be the directory name of the image set)
c. save the file with the imageset name.txt
(Only save in txt, not MS word as it adds formatting)
6. Send mail to the following, with the report as an attachment and the image name in the subject line.
iascsearch@hsutx.edu
Remember to cc SPACE at:
aiasc@space-india.org
7. Repeat this process every time you get mail saying that data may be in folders.
8. All updates will also be posted on the SPACE website
www.space-india.org
Note that all confirmations and discoveries are posted on:
http://iasc.hsutx.edu/index_
9. If you are a coordinator - which is true only for organizations (Doon School, Bhaskaracharya, Star Gazing, Astronomicans and SPACE) - its upto you to forward all relevant emails to your group in a timely way. However, I will post everything on the SPACE website as soon as possible.
We will check the first few reports for formatting etc. Hope all of you have Astrometrica installed and ready to go! If not, send a query to the following address.
If you have any concerns especially in the first week, do not hesitate to contact us or get your reports checked.
PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOU HAVE QUERIES here:
