Hi Jim, as you may know that most of central and eastern parts of far southern Australia have been suffering for weeks now, first with oven like temps that...

Hi Clay! Oh.........good one! This was hilarious, and you really made my day!!!! My wife Lorna couldn't understand why I was laughing so much until I could ...

Hi all : My last analysis , m1 = 8.6 + 5 * log ( delta ) + 17.62 * log ( R ) My opinion it has high probabilities this comet m1(MAX) ~ + 4 for date 26-02...
To the Group, Does this comet look like it has the possibility of a post-perihelion "bump" in its light curve? I'm noticing with interest the recent increase...
... Phil, considering this comet's relatively large q and faint intrinsic magnitude (about two magnitudes fainter than an "average" comet), I don't see much...
I find it interesting that the longer the observed arc that your data encompasses, the smaller the coefficient of Log R has become.... Time will tell - whether...
Hi Kearn, We have been on the opposite end of the airflow to you, having a cool summer with cloud and even rain. Unfortunately the humidity is causing cloud...
