Congratulations to Mike Foylan

Great work Mike and congratulations. Think I too will pick up a copy of the suggested books and give them a read.

All the best.

Hi Guys,

I put together a basic presentation on asteroids, how to obtain an observatory code and asteroid photometry etc (with an Irish flavour) for those of you that may be interested or thinking of going for your observatory code and/or starting lightcurve photometry.
This came about from an invite by Meath Astronomy Club to give a talk at Dunsink Observatory recently.
If you wish to have a copy of the presentation please send me a PM with your email so as to give you shared access to the Drop Box Folder where the PDF file is located, it is 12 MB in size.

Best wishes and clear skies for 2015

Mike

Terrific presentation Mike, thanks for the link. Very informative all round, not only for those wishing to set up their own observatory, but also as an overview of the current state of play regarding the Sun's multitudinous extended family.

Finbarr.

No problem Finbarr, glad you liked the presentation and found it useful!
Best wishes and clear skies
Mike
