... Finally, the individual observations themselves are reduced, using the parameters from the extinction solution. ... That is, the extinction solution can in principle produce results if we observe extinction star 1 only in passband A and star 2 in passband B on night 1, and star 1 only in passband B and star 2 in passband A on night 2. ... Even if the passbands are linked by color terms in the extinction, the solution is possible, because we do obtain mean colors for each star. ...

... The comet 169P was first observed by the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking system. In order to observe this comet we had to figure out if it was possible to view it from Faulkes Telescope South, a 2m reflecting telescope which is used for research as well as for use by school students around the world over the internet. ... Since 169P is such a bright object, we were able to use a red filter on some of our observations to provide a clearer image. ...
