catman161 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Just wondering if we were all planning on meeting at one of the dark sites to try and get a glimpse of PANSTARRS at all? Any plans been discussed yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Busy day on Saturday so I'll need a reasonably early night on Fri - but if it's clear I may do Wymeswold with you Felix for a few hours - won't be a late one though. Dr Ann is setting up in Abbey Park Friday with the LAS'ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Weather this weekend looks awful, and next weekend is SGL so probably not for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 If the weather is OK, and my back is working, I'd be game for coming along. No laughing at my dew shield though James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Cool-will all depend on weather I guess. What the western horizon like at wymeswold? I didn't give it much attention last time I was there! Will be cool if a few if us get together at wymeswold if it is clear (fingers crossed!)

dawson Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 If it's not clear, we could sit in a pub and you could teach me how to use Registax James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Ha ha! I barely know myself James! I just follow Dion's planetary video on astronomy shed More than happy to show you what I know of it (very little) lol! I know it can do so much more but I am still just getting Into it myself!

dawson Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thanks for the links in the other thread felix, i'll watch those later as luckily got another day off, yippee! I could get used to a three day week. I've just realised i'm on call this Friday night so i won't be able to stray too far from nottingham. So i think even if the weather turns nice i won't be able to come. Sorry. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 If its at all clear tues \ wed next week am going to set up in local park as it has a relatively clear western horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Type-R Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Shamelessly pinched from a post that Steve put up in the LAS link. I think this is a good picture to show the size and location of PANSTARRS.... http://www.popastro.com/news/newsdetail.php?id_nw=168 Just checked Google maps and if memory serves, Belper has a good view of the western horizon due to it's ridiculous height. I think I may try and pop up to Belper (even mid week if I can), just to try and get a glimpse. Will post a thread in the meets section if going (weather / SWMBO shifts allowing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I would personally let it get out of the murk, leave it till at least the end of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
