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 ? |

Just to let everyone know that the first 2011 KBO search data are now posted on the Ice Hunters site for your searching pleasure. Currently we've posted the early June 2011 data set from Subaru (without seeding with artificial KBOs, for now), to be followed later by the early July Subaru data and the late May / early June data from the Magellan telescope.
Have at it! We'd love to have some preliminary candidate KBOs in hand when we apply for 2012 telescope time starting in mid-September. And thanks again. By the way, there's a blog post from me describing our July Subaru run on the New Horizons site (it's also posted on the Ice Hunters site, but with fewer pictures ). John |
