Congratulations to Blackrock Castle Observatory

Dave,

I presume the 0.4m telescope was used for the Observatory IAU code.

I was speaking to Alan Giltinan 2 months ago, when he was at my place, he told me that they had a lot of problems since installation with the dome observatory. This may have put a constraint on them using the telescope consistently until now.

I'm so glad they have got things operational again.

Judging by the published MPEC, it was the 0.4m scope that took the images. The data was submitted by Dylan Loughnan - well done!

Dave,

Mind me asking how you are able to find that data on the MPC website?

Thanks,

Michael.

I got it on the archive page:

www.minorplanetcenter.org/iau/ECS/MPCArc.../MPCArchive_TBL.html

Ah cheers, thanks.

Keep an eye on that page - the next MPC (first column) should have I87 in it...
