Request for Groundbased Images of Hale-Bopp between 26 Jul and 02 Aug
In support of the STS-85 Shuttle/SWUIS imaging experiment for Hale-Bopp,
scheduled to be performed between 11 Aug and 21 Aug 1997, the SWUIS
experiment team requests broadband images of Hale-Bopp be obtained between
26 Jul 1997 and 05 Aug 1997. These images will be used to help prepare
Shuttle mission specialists Dr. Steve Robinson and Dr. Dan Davis
for the expected appearance of Hale-Bopp during their Shuttle mission,
which is set to launch 07 Aug 1997. Drs. Robinson and Davis are not
astronomers, but will have to visually acquire the comet in the SWUIS finder
telescope in order to properly place the SWUIS CCD on the comet for the
desired SWUIS UV/Vis observations.
As such, the SWUIS imaging science team (A. Stern, D. Slater, M. A'Hearn,
P. Weissman, M. Hanner, J. Parker, and L. Paxton) ask to be informed
(at astern@swri.edu) of electronically-available Hale-Bopp images obtained
during the next 10 days.
