Hi,
I’m regular follower of NH and I’m also interested in the 2nd leg of the mission, i.e the 2016+ KBOs encounters. Does anyone know when operations about this leg (starting with searching objects of interest with HST or some other earth-based means, I suppose) are expected to begin ? |

Great stuff!!! I've gone through 114 images with 96 objects. Perhaps I'm being too overzealous with some of the blobs I've marked, since the margins seem like they were edited during the subtraction process. However, their center is white, so I figure it's better to flag it as something to investigate.
I hope we hit the jackpot! Seems like a great way to filter data for a sky survey -- farm it out to the eager masses! |
