Hi all, I just received my Observatory code from the MPC: B85 . Thanks to the Astrometrica software it was not that difficult to accomplish. It has taken some...
Better late than never. Congratulations. LN ... From: Astrometrica@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Astrometrica@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Albert van Duin Sent:...
Hello everyone, sorry for this posting, which is a bit off-topic. But as some of you know, I am involved in the organization of the "Central European Deepsky...
Hello Herbert, ... the time of the conference is a pitty. It collides with the "100 h of Astronomy" of the IYA 2009 and with the "Astronomietag" in Germany. I...
... Sorry, this was our intention. 100 hours of astronomy, 50 hours of deepsky imaging. :-) I would guess that most local clubs will survive this week- end...
This seems to be a rather quiet group but I will take a shot at asking for some suggestions. Firstly let me introduce myself. My name is David Birmingham and I...
A possibly heretical question. I am currently recording this asteroid via low-light video camera. Advantage is that I am time-stamping each video frame with a...
Hi Dave, Steve Quirk and I have done this with a Mintron and KIWI time stamp. He got his observatory code from such obs. Give me a call. Cheers, Rob ...

For those that are interested - I solved the problem of getting a measurable image from the video as follows: 1. I displayed the video on a frame-by frame...
Hello Dave, Thank you to share this information among us but for me one question remains: Any one of the individual video pictures has a time stamp label or...
I have made my Atrometric Data Reduction with great sucess :-). 2 asterids in 2 nights all matched under 0.2 arcsec. So I want to send my report and try to get...
Dear Paulo ... Simply add a COM line with the Observatory/Site name: COM 239 18 45 E, Lat. 33 54 11 N, Alt. 100m COM Observatory Name While choosing the name...
Paulo, First read http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/iau/info/Astrometry.html#HowObsCode thoroughly. In the edit program settings form, Location, MPC Code, enter XXX,...
Paulo, In the Astrometrica "Setting" window, there is a tab called "Observing Site". On that page are two fields for entering "Contact" information (name,...
Hello Paulo, Yes you can put it in Astometrica. Click on the green spannen icon (settings) and fill in after Contact. First line Observatory name Second line...
Dave, thanks for sharing this. Only one question: in which way a simple BMP image can be transformed in a reliable FITS image? I mean, what about the precision...
Thanks so much to you all. I will send it in a few minutes. Regards, paulo--- In Astrometrica@yahoogroups.com, "plobao" <paulobao@...> ... except....the ... ...
I am quite sure that there is a loss of precision in the process - both of (x,y) and photometry. So I would not want to use video as a routine measurement...
I use video routinely for asteroid occultations - and we have excellent software for extracting a light curve from a video recording. I did measure some...
The video system is one we use for asteroid occultations, where accurate time is critical. We use a hardware device that extracts accurate time from a GPS...
Note that according to <http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/iau/info/Astrometry.html#contact> the "contact details" should include the name and mailing address of an...
Hi again, I sent my first MPC report 2 days ago. If they accept it they will send me a code right? But if they don't, would they tell me anything or just...
Paolo, I think you may have to wait for some weeks. (I did, unpatiently... ) They are understaffed, so just wait for them to reply, they will in the end ... ...
I got my code in a day or two. I'd give them a few more days and then send a follow-up email. A few points from section 12 of the "guide": "Note that if you...
Hi John, I should knew that before I capture those 2. I could capture 5 or 6 with no problem at all. I will wait and see what they say. see what I got the same...
