I am intrigued by this image taken on May 8th. The greenish extension seen pointing about 60° from the ion tail direction (that is roughly anti-sunward,...

I'll second what Brian said! I had a lot of fun at the meeting, and learned a lot about the state-of-the-art in asteroid observing, for example. There was...

Since I sent requests for images of comet Neat_Q4 taken on or around May 8th, I have received a few responses. Some images I have seen are absolutely gorgeous....

Darn it....I thought that was a comet and I talked myself out of submitting the claim. That's 4 times I've done that. Guess I need to go with my instinct....
... Too bad, Gil, next time ;-) I am rather wondering why semi-accurate astrometry is included in the MPEC?! CK04K030 C2004 06 01.43149 20 22 00.5 +48 03 57...

Thanks to everyone who replied to me.. you have been most helpful! I guess I was more concerned with what to put in the e-mail subject line, but that is all...
We used the semi-accurate stuff because the observer gave us a rather lengthy explanation of the situation. This is after all a pretty dense star background....
Just for the sake of demonstrating to those who are taking comet images how difficult it is to retrieve the information they contain, let me say why the ...
