For info. A relatively new Near-Earth asteroid will be passing be the Earth today (Tuesday). The object 2009 DD45, will pass within 0.00052 AU of the Earth at...
Further to the earlier message. The ideal optical aid for observing this object will be large aperture (>6cm) binoculars at a dark-sky location. A challenge to...
The following is an updated ephemeris, for Canberra. The ephemeris is based on an updated orbit. The maximum uncertainty is now reduced to about 15 arc mins,...
... Dave, OK, I'll bite. Mag 10.5--11 should be doable with 20x80s. Dave, I assume you are interested since you proposed it. What about the Williamsdale area?...
A slight change of plans (which I've discussed with Vello) The ephemeris is now sufficiently good that I have confidence in pointing my 14" at the asteroid....
Congratulations Dave, I believe that would be a first (for Canberra at least?) Michael N ... From: Dave Herald To: CAS List ; CADG Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009...
I'm a little flabbergasted.... Would you believe that the total views of my video is now over 10,000! It has been linked from SpaceWeather, and New Scientist -...
I for one want to send my thanks to Dave and others who regardless of replies send out these great tidbits etc. on a regular basis. Having my hands full with a...
Hi Dave, Congratulations and thanks for that excellent video - make that 10,001 Jim From: CADG@yahoogroups.com [mailto:CADG@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Dave ...
Well done dave! BTW: Did anyone get a light curve on it to figure out its rotation? if it has a friend? etc? I was a bit confused when i saw an news item (i...
At 30m it is not a global threat. But it would cause significant damage in the region of impact. Dave Herald Canberra, Australia ... From: "Ross Nelson"...
OK Dave its that distant faint globular cluster Omega...?.. nup can't remember :-P After Tom Davis mediocre (not) effort appeared on APOD the other day, this...
Thanks for the thought, Mike. My attention in the last 48 hours has been seriously diverted by my video on UTube of 2009 DD45. The number of views is now over ...
Hi Mike While it was good I must admit I didn't think the Tom Davis image ranked with the best Omegas I've seen. Your's is a typical first class effort....
I guess this lacks the appeal of Dave's video but I thought I shouldn't waste a couple of clear nights. I'm planning to do a colour version as soon as the...
Nice picture. I was intrigued that when I look at it, I see a persons head in profile, with a large nose. Given some of the names that are attributed to...
Thanks Dave. I'm afraid I can't see any face but then I'm notoriously bad at seeing such things. It was years before I could see the Sagittarius teapot for...
Actually, the first thing I noticed was an astronaut in a spacesuit, and only later saw the "head in profile". The astronaut's "visor" is the head's "eye". ...
I can see the astronaut and I've suddenly seen the head. Amazing how these things can just pop out. The head looks like one of those Easter island monoliths...
As people are aware, on March 2 I posted a 1-minute video of NEO Asteroid 2009 DD45 on YouTube. That video has now had almost 185,000 views. According to my...

... Way to go, Dave dude! ... Maybe because a. They haven't had a paper issue out since March 2 - typical lead-time for an issue is, I believe, around six...
A quite good grazing occultation will occur close to Canberra this coming Monday morning. the basic circumstances are: Star - Mag 5.3 [4.5 in the red] Moon -...
Well narrow band colour anyway and I apologise to those who don't like narrow band images but there's nothing much else you can do when the moon is about....
