Hi & welcome to the Forum.

Neowise is North West to North but very low down 10 -15 degrees above the horizon but it may be clear tonight so do try, I think Walsall AS are going to Barr Beacon tonight.

Think about joining your local astro society to get advice as well.

Regards Steve (Wolverhampton AS)

Hi Steve we at Wolverhampton AS are trying to find somewhere Sunday & Monday nights to see Neowise. Had a great night last weekend up the Long Mynd.

Yes they are there in v4

I have version 4 and it looks like its in there by default.

Looking at the images you folk post on here many of you are able to take pics well enough to track these things and contribute to saving us all please.

How about something from Jay Tate https://spaceguardcentre.com/

I dont think you get the final say on that one though.

Cabin fever-- isolation for you then.🔭✨

Did you hear about these two ? https://spaceguardcentre.com/two-unexpected-close-approaches/

Have a look at https://spaceguardcentre.com/

He has some good talks on the subject of numerical risk against expenditure

@Robindonne

Thats why repeated observations are needed on all objects and searches done to find new ones. The calcs for orbits just need position and time of obs.

There is plenty we can do if one is found on our way.

Its well worth a visit there when you can.

I think I may have too much... (not all mine but in my keeping)

With the worldwide resources of astronomers can someone hack into Musk's system and deorbit these things?

No I'm sure its Kelling that clashes with us.....

Wookie1965 did we discuss this there in March?

There is a topic on here about red torches somewhere, the problems seem to be many are far too bright and people do walk about with them like lighthouses and the same applies to aps its more how you use them to minimise loss of dark adaptation.

Yes I have been a couple of times its a lovely site, its a long way from here though but you never know - thanks

Has  anyone thought of doing this again in the Autumn/ winter?

Shropshire AS use a campsite at Ford a few miles to the west

Mmm its starting to come together

I might get a partner to come for a few nights and have told a newbie mate who may be keen, where is it? (PM me if you like)

Shropshire A.S. used to have observing events at Attinham Pk

Hi Mark I could be up for that is that per person or per pitch

I have a catalogue somewhere in Carte du Ciel with M31 globs located
