... Hi Dave, in principle, I would have agreed with you. However there are a number of reasons that convince me about the correct identification of this...
I guess there is an important point of difference... When I report astrometry of faint moving objects, I _always_ make sure that I can detect motion before I...
Dave, I agree about the fact that all the points you listed (in particular the multiple exposures) is the rigorous procedure one must follow. And, incidently,...

Comet 177P is moving at a relative speed of 3.6 arc seconds per minute against the star field in Hercules. This makes it difficult to image as one must take...

This summer has been as hot as any I can remember in my 55+ years. When the heat is 104F for weeks and a cold front approaches bad things happen. Lightning...
Hey Mike, That really is some bad news.Always have enjoyed the photos that you have put out. Was the equipment and dome insured? Take care. Frank G. ... ...
Hi Mike, I'm sad to read about these bad news; I hope that you will be able to recover soon from this disaster, so we will be able to enjoy again your...
I took some shots of the bigger things in the dome. I hope everyone will look to see what a really nasty time this must have been. The lense cover has a hole...
Ahhh....Mike. May I am so sorry. The storm never made it this far east, but I watched it on radar up your way. Let me know if there is anything I can do on...
Dear Mike, I too am very sorry for the damage in your observatory. But human life is the most important consideration. As you say, the lightning would have ...
Mike I sure do enjoy your comet images and hope this doesn't keep you down long ??? I mostly lurk but I am always here hope your back on top soon .. Vegas Luna...
A month ago a sudden wind(storm) destroyed my small observatory in the roof threw down my telescope(lx200 10") broke the base and cracked the correcting plate ...

Mike, Ouch! No doubt about what happened there! Sorry to hear about the damage. Even in southern California we've been getting a lot of thunderstorms with a...
Hello. I have had a lot of emails wanting to see the actual dome entrance and exit of the lightning. Images have been loaded to the same storage file. A...
Still trying to salvage any possibility of recovering the object that I followed fo rnearly two hours on August 17; many thanks to those who have been...

Comet 177P Barnard is currently magnitude 8.5. Your planetarium program probably says its 13.8, but that's wrong. The comet is presently much brighter than...
