Hi:

I've been a member of this group in the past - some 5 years ago but have leaved
for personal reasons and lack of observing oportunities.

I have not imaged a NEO, or comet in quite some years and was wondering if
astrometry readings is still on demand. And if the software to go is still
astrometrica.

I'm finishing a new observatory with some friends, and hopefully we will have it
ready in a few months, my setup (although there are others in the observatory)
is a Televue NP101 and an ATIK16HR, I hope to have it remote in some months.
Since I now have an observatory I can now apply for a code in IAU MPC, and am
planning to apply for one soon. And I was really hopping to do some work in the
asteroids area.

You can see some images of comets and asteroids in my page (with other setup and
quite some years ago):

And one of pluto I also did (not great by today standards):

So I hope to learn and refresh a bit here in this group, and if anyone has some
ideia of the best place to restart I'll welcome any advice. Is IAU mpc still
interested in astrometry readings? do you have any link to where I can find
request for observations? Or are there other demands on this field?

Any info would be great

Sorry for any english writting mistakes... but beeing portuguese english is not
my main language.
