I realize this is a bit off topic but as many of you are also amateur 
astronomers...

If you have been observing comet Hartley 2, I would like to invite you 
to submit your observations of comet 103P/ Hartley 2 on the Amateur 
Observers' Program website (aop.astro.umd.edu) which is collecting 
images of comet Hartley 2 in support of the EPOXI mission. All amateurs 
are invited to send in their images/ data...

Please, feel free to send in images from multiple nights! This allows us 
to see how the comet is changing. Images to post can be processed in any 
way (a still image of stacked frames, an animation...)... If you are so 
inclined, you can also send a zip file of your calibrated fits files 
(preferably 1 zip file for each night)... there are several amateurs who 
are interested in determining Afrho and other parameters and are trying 
to find data to analyze.

We are also collecting sketches from those who prefer sketching, as well 
as simple text reports...
