Need specific Hubble images. Archive does not have them.

AI Thread Summary
The user is seeking specific Hubble Space Telescope images of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) from July 15, 2006, and January 12, 2007, but cannot find them in the Hubble archive. Nearby observations do not provide sufficient overlap for analysis due to alignment and exposure time issues. The user mentions the Hubble forums are currently down, limiting their options for assistance. Another participant suggests checking the Hubble Legacy Archive, although the user clarifies that those images do not meet their needs. The discussion highlights the challenges of accessing specific astronomical data and the importance of archival resources.

I'm doing a summer internship and my supervisor is currently away and uncontactable. He left me details of certain Hubble images to download and analyse asking for HST images of M31 with coordinates 00:42:52.534 +41:18:54.17 on 2006-07-15 and 2007-01-12. (YYYY-MM-DD)

The problem is that observations on these dates for M31 do not exist on the hubble archive. Nearby dates do not have enough of the field to be aligned with one another and there is also the issue of different exposure times.

I would have posted this in the Hubble forums but it's down at the moment afaik. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thread 'Venus and Jupiter Conjunction'

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...
