Call for amateur astronomers to help with Venus observations.

#1

Post by KingClinton »


We are seeking context observations of Venus provided by amateur astronomers to enhance the scientific return of the BepiColombo flyby in October 15, 2020. To that end, we encourage amateur observers to observe Venus in mid-July, late August and mid-October 2020. Observations around 11 July 2020 will be used to support the analysis of data acquired during the 3rd flyby of Venus by the Parker Solar Probe (NASA) on 11 July 2020.

Some people don't understand why I love astronomy so much, I cannot understand why they do not!

If I can get clear skies, I'll keep this in mind. I have never really done much AP on Venus - I don't have a good west view and, well, clouds followed by more clouds. But when I go out in the field I'll try and capture some images.
