I would like to recommend three of my favorite discussion groups. These are on Yahoo and they are consistantly on topic and well moderated. Comets-ml: a parent group with lively discussion and world wide membership of pros and amateurs, including a guy working towards a lifetime list of 500 observed comets. These guys are hard core. cometobs: a spinoff group that just lists current visual and ccd observations of comets. A guy in Spain routinely pulls in 5 comets with an 8 inch SCT and a guy in Brazil who works with binoculars. These seemingly dry datapoints are presented in a format that can be read by computer programs that plot the brightness curves over many months. Comet-images: another spinoff for people with CCD and DSL cameras. It' s almost entirely posted images and coments on them. DT --- On Fri, 10/1/10, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> wrote:

Obviously, people around the world are impressed with Patrick's comet pic. -- Joe

This was posted on the MPML group #24282 by Patrick Wiggins.

Now that was nice! Thanks for posting!

Steve, "clear skies" would be "cielos despejados" but we usually just

wish each other "buenos cielos" which literally means "good skies" :-)

Cheers,

Rogelio
