Comet PANSTARRS (Comet C/2011 L4) promises to be a bright naked- eye comet, the first for 2013. The comet was discovered in 2011 and inherited its name due to the 1.8 metre telescope that discovered it, Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (PanSTARRS).

Dear Members,
The MKAS AGM is fast approaching on March 8th, and like certain asteroids will be gone again before we know it!
The sound of the letters or words ‘AGM’ often scare people off, but this is really the most important meeting of the year. It’s your chance to come along and hear a review of the year’s events and activities, the state of the Society funds and general status, and where we may go in the next MKAS year. But that is better being a decision made by us all, members alike, not only that of the Committee, for the improvement of MKAS. So we’d like to hear your views and suggestions.
