Please consider using an alternative browser - especially if you are on Windows XP which only supports the outdated Internet Explorer 8 browser - such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome which do have support for these web standards. As well as not supporting modern features and web standards, old versions of browsers - especially Internet Explorer - can expose your computer to security risks. The Browse Happy website has a list of the latest versions of all major browsers, including Internet Explorer (but remember Windows XP only supports up to IE8!)
If updating/changing your browser is not possible, do not panic - all of the LAS website is still available to you and we are working to make the layout compatible with outdated browsers.
How to observe Near-Earth Asteroid 2012 DA14 & live views from robotic telescopes via Slooh
A nice guide has been posted on the Active Astronomy website.
The guide is tailored for the southern UK but should be accurate enough for observers across the country too. Let us know in the comments or the forum if you saw the asteroid and what you thought!
You can also watch live images from robotic telescopes via the Slooh website here: http://events.slooh.com/#.UR6kjZk0e9w.twitter
On the Slooh website, use the left and right arrows above the circular area to change to views from different telescopes. The live broadcasts are at 22:00 UTC (15th February 2013) and 02:00 UTC (16th February 2013)
