iI Martin,

That would make a great short article for the Journal and maybe longer one for the Comet’s Tale!  I know Nick has a further edition planned for later this year.

Cheers,
Janice

While there, we were lucky enough to be shown around the Royal Observatory and its impressive collection of historic equipment, not least two original Herschel telescopes. In the collection was a glass  plate photograph of comet C/1911 01 (Brooks), which I thought might be of passing interest to the group.

I've posted a short write-up on the BAA website here: https://esp01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbritastro.org%2Fsection_news_item%2Fcomet-section-meeting-edinburgh-2025-october-4&data=05%7C02%7C%7C8743a863a3bb4125ceaf08de0c2fdc57%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638961596860458124%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=IT1YYqTp99YwM9%2Fid2czeh98YxKub1pcNw%2BWBYNDxQE%3D&reserved=0 My thanks to all of the speakers and to the Astronomical Society of Edinburgh who were fantastic hosts. My thanks also to the Augustine United Church who provided an excellent venue, right in the centre of Edinburgh.  The meeting was recorded on the very impressive venue A/V system and I  have just received the files so I'll start to upload the talks. This  will take a week or two since I need to extract them from the feed but  they will (gradually) appear here: https://esp01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fplaylist%3Flist%3DPLzBTybazXT41Z5cA22-l_XamHciEFoZk5&data=05%7C02%7C%7C8743a863a3bb4125ceaf08de0c2fdc57%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638961596860485227%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=hI%2FYkAxoDH8HAMziGbh%2BRUIwYwNd9QYHHk7EnRfmEWs%3D&reserved=0 If you attended the meeting I hope that you enjoyed it. If you didn't then I hope that the videos will give you a feeling of being there.  We tend to have a section meeting every couple of years. The last three have been in York, Greenwich and Edinburgh and each one was supported by a very capable local society. If you have any thoughts for a possible venue for 2027 please let me know.  Nick.
