If you can provide him with any feedback, please reply to this topic and we'll forward them to him.My name is Charles Smith and I am a final year Astrophysics Student at
the University of Hertfordshire. As part of my final year, I am
undertaking an investigation entitled 'On the Frequency of Impacts on
Jupiter' and included in that is a Social Study on Amateur Astronomers
in relation their views on monitoring Jupiter. If you could, would it
possible to ask the following questions to your members and provide me
with feedback including a few individual quotes?
1) Are you aware of the 2009 collision with Jupiter captured by an
amateur astronomer, Wesley? If so, what are your views on it?
2) Do your members actively look at Jupiter, be it on their own or as
part of a society?
3) Would it be feasible to monitor Jupiter (regularly) from an amateur
astronomy society such as this one?
Thank you very much for taking the time to read through my email and I
am very grateful for any aid you can provide in relation to my
project.
Many Thanks,
Charles
