NEMETODE Workshop - Dunsink Observatory - 21st Oct

NEMETODE are organising a workshop on meteors & asteroids on Saturday 21st October at Dunsink Observatory.
It's primarily aimed as a practical workshop for those who either have meteor cameras or are interesting in getting their own.
It will feature a discussion on the equipment along with practical demonstrations of the software.
We're currently finalising the schedule for the event and will post it here shortly.

I notice there is another meteor-detecting group called UKMON. Would it not make more sense for the 2 teams to pool resources, or maybe that's a long story...

We get on quite well with UKMON and often meet up at BAA events etc. Both groups happened to be founded around the same time independently from each other and sort of grew from there.
