I thought people might be interested in this website, aimed at coordinating amateur observations 'in support of NASA missions'. I link straight to the calendar page because the upcoming OPPOSITION OF CERES next month is to be the most favourable for THOUSANDS OF YEARS!! Even I will be getting off my couch for that. My binoculars should show a distinct and surprisingly mobile dot in Leo over the next month or two, an experience I look forward to all the more in the knowledge that there is a spacecraft on the way there as I watch. Does anybody know if any time on the big professional 'scopes is set aside to take advantage of this viewing opportunity?
