I realize this is a bit off topic but as many of you are also amateur
astronomers...

If you have been observing comet Hartley 2, I would like to invite you
to submit your observations of comet 103P/ Hartley 2 on the Amateur
Observers' Program website (aop.astro.umd.edu) which is collecting
images of comet Hartley 2 in support of the EPOXI mission. All amateurs
are invited to send in their images/ data...

Please, feel free to send in images from multiple nights! This allows us
to see how the comet is changing. Images to post can be processed in any
way (a still image of stacked frames, an animation...)... If you are so
inclined, you can also send a zip file of your calibrated fits files
(preferably 1 zip file for each night)... there are several amateurs who
are interested in determining Afrho and other parameters and are trying
to find data to analyze.

We are also collecting sketches from those who prefer sketching, as well
as simple text reports...
