Update:

Since the weather here's been uncooperative and trying to get in observing time has been futile, I'll likely have the chatroom open most if not all nights the remainder of this week. Look for it starting around 8:00 PM ET (1:00 GMT... apologies to those across the Atlantic).

In the near future, I also plan on having the room open for coverage of the Deep Impact launch (currently scheduled for January 12th, ~ 1:00 PM ET [~18:00 GMT]), and the Huygens descent January 14th (scheduled beginning at 3:00 AM ET [9:00 GMT]).

Please this is an inslut. There's so much platform independant software solutions out there {say IRC, for one}, and you had to go with something that would take me litteraly days to get working on my system. ... ...

Anyone brave enough to set up an IRC solution? Would rock...

We do, Colt and Vermonter had the up room a while ago. I haven't seen anyone on lately though.

As Sever pointed out, there has been an IRC room for some time. It, however, does not offer voice capability. Paltalk does have its limitations, and as stated previously, I'm not intentionally excluding those on non-MS platforms. But for what we've been doing, it's free and it works quite well.

P.S.: The room will probably not be opened tonight, as I've been granted the first clear skies in some time, and there are 4 new eyepieces burning a hole in my pocket.

I think the word "insult" is un-called for. Wolverine is doing this because he wants to, and is doing everyone a favor.

The Deep Impact launch is tomorrow, scheduled for 18:47 GMT (1:47 PM ET). And yes, the room will be open about an hour or so ahead of time.

Just a reminder:

I'll have the chatroom open marathon-style for coverage of Huygens. The NASA TV/ESA schedules have been posted elsewhere in GA but just to recap, the party will kick off beginning Friday morning at 3:00 AM ET [9:00 GMT].

It's going to be an exciting day, feel free to come hang out and (hopefully) watch history in the making. 8)

Still going strong. Swing by if you'd like to discuss the new presents from Huygens.

For earlybirds and/or those overseas, the room will be open this morning, Jan 15th, for the ESA Huygens briefing -- currently scheduled for 5AM ET (10:00 GMT).

[Edited to correct GMT due to sleep deprivation 8-[ ]
