Thanks for sharing that article Dale. I don't mean to be a complainer, but it seems the days for visual discoveries of virtually anything are almost gone. Amateurs with the means to acquire automated equipment, CCD imagers and even remotely controlled observatories are making the discoveries. However, the rest of us should never give up! -----Original Message----- From: Dale Hooper [mailto:Dale.Hooper@sdl.usu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 9:26 AM To: Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Utah-astronomy] I'd be happy with just ONE! <http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/2/hi/science/nature/3112508.stm> I'd be happy with just ONE discovery! But this also gives me hope - because I've seen how cloudy the skies are in the UK - and at least two of their 6 telescopes appear to be stock Meade and Celestron scopes. Clear skies, Dale. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
