Hi All,

I just joined, I’ve been into astronomy for about 3 years. I’ve just finished my backyard observatory with my home brew 8” f6 Newt + SAC8 camera. Just imaged Eris (2003 UB313) the other day at mag 18.8. I’m having fun with my new fixed setup but what else can I do with it? I’m in the process of set it up for automated asteroid hunting but the chances of discovering one these days is remote.

So can anyone suggest something more constructive I can do with this setup rather than take pics of thing that have been imaged many time before my many others. Not that thats something I don’t enjoy doing anyway. Are there any co-operative projects happening within the Iceinspace community?

Cheers
Peter
