Can I find occultation and comet websites in Australia

[Elliot1628]

Hi guys,

who can tell me which website can I get information on Occultations and Comets in the Southern Hemisphere, such as their data.




Kind of Regards!

The occultations in this region are coordinated from New Zealand, best to go here to this site (http://occsec.wellington.net.nz/) and you'll find all you need to know about what's happening down here.

Don't know about the comets, I'll let someone else answer that one.

Download the software from the links on the page, and you can calculate your own occultations.

There is one computed for me for tomorrow, inside the shadow path, if the weather clears.

Hi Bin ... am sure others will have a say too, but these are the ones I use. Not all necessarily southern, but it tells you where they are, and have some good charts -
