>Hello all,
>The BAA Comet Section is now planning to hold a meeting with with a theme of "Comet Observing" 
>during 2013. We are provisionally suggesting the following venue and date. 2013 May 18 in 
>Northampton at The Humfrey Rooms. We would like members to indicate with a simple reply to this 
>discussion group as to whether this suggested date and venue are suitable. Part of our thinking 
>behind this suggestion is that the venue is central and accessible, the time of year means no dark 
>time travelling, the phase of the Moon is 1st quarter.Also by that time we will have already seen 
>the perihelion passage of C/2011 L4  PanStarrs ( a good chance for members  to share their 
>observations) and we will be anticipating the approach of C/2012 S1 ISON . This a very exciting 
>period to be a comet observer, who knows what we will see during 2013?
>
>Also if anyone would like to suggest preferred speakers( amateur or professional) or observationally 
>related subjects to be covered then we would like to hear those suggestions.
>
>Following on from discussions at the joint Comet/ARPS meeting held at Milton Keynes earlier this 
>month we are actively working on a new Section approach to CCD comet photometry and we would hope to 
>be in a position to relay news of this to the meeting.
>
>Another reason for asking for simple replies this discussion group is for us to establish how many 
>members actively read these posts, so if you can reply please do so.
>
>Best wishes and clear skies
