History   Image

The Comet Section of the Astronomical Society of Victoria, was formed in December 2004
The section was formed to meet the needs of ASV members, who want quick, and reliable information,
on all things related to comets

Goals & Objectives

The section unites members who want to learn about comets, and communicates up-to-date information
on how to observe, and record comets, through its Yahoo Comet section page
Members are encouraged to share their experiences, and occasionally get together, to observe and discuss
cometary issues.
The section also contributes to "Crux" and other International Cometary organizations, where our information can make a difference, and is sort after.
With the Linear and Neat projects targeting the Northern skies, there are still opportunities for our members to discover a comet  eg Bill Bradfield

Activities

The section organises occasional meetings, and observing sessions for it's members
Comet bulletins are sent to members regularly from the director, containing information on new comets, outbursts, and  any new developments
Members are encouraged to submit their reports, or any matters, they want to discuss.

Membership

Is open to ALL ASV members
