Abstract: As an application of the method of [4], we find the metric and connection on the space of conics in $mathbb{CP}^2$ determined as the solution space of the ODE eqn(1). These calculations underpin the twistor construction of the Radon transform on conics in $mathbb{CP}^2$ described in [5]. Two further examples of the method are provided.
