Telephones issue (Feb. 3rd) |
After moving our La Laguna offices to their new location (Menceyes 93, a few yards away) the main spanish telephone company is having trouble in reconnecting our isdn lines; As of Feb 3rd, we haven't even a date for when a solution can come. We encourage you to call the team's cell phones as first choice; The director can be Skype'd looking for the "themis_steer" nickname. E-mail connections are nominal thanks to IAC aironet link. Telescope telephones are ok and unchanged.

Observations of Comet McNaught 2006 P1 |
 Themis is a French-Italian solar telescope with a 90-cm primary mirror. It is the
first solar telescope on an altazimuthal mount, a characteristic that
allows to point not just the sun, but any point in the celestial
sphere. Being thermally protected for solar observations, it can
point to any object during daylight and observe planets and comets
too near to the sun at noon through a limited amount of airmass. And
thus comet McNaught was observed at noon while at a mere 1/10 of the
distance of the Earth to the Sun, right when the irradiation from the
sun was the more intense.
