http://www.deepsky2000.net/

Extractions: Works with Deepsky Steve - Just wanted to send a quick word of praise for your amazing Deepsky software. It's one of those packages that just opens up into new surprises every time I run it. It shows in every corner the attention and care you have lavished on it over the years. Kudos galore! I'm going to purchase a larger HD for my laptop so I can get all the images on there. Am still thinking about trying to create something like Deepsky for the UNIX/Linux platform. One day ... I got into the hobby seriously 2 years ago and bought my first real scope at that time, a Hardin 10" dob. For my first year I was using free shareware programs available on the web but they never seemed to fill my needs being a star hopper. I had thought about other programs with more features than the freeware but the prices were way out of line and instead of buying a program I would rather buy eyepieces.

Sources of Additional Information Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top Physicists explore and identify basic principles governing the structure and behavior of matter, the generation and transfer of energy, and the interaction of matter and energy. Some physicists use these principles in theoretical areas, such as the nature of time and the origin of the universe; others apply their physics knowledge to practical areas, such as the development of advanced materials, electronic and optical devices, and medical equipment. Physicists design and perform experiments with lasers, particle accelerators, telescopes, mass spectrometers, and other equipment. Based on observations and analysis, they attempt to discover and explain laws describing the forces of nature, such as gravity, electromagnetism, and nuclear interactions. Physicists also find ways to apply physical laws and theories to problems in nuclear energy, electronics, optics, materials, communications, aerospace technology, and medical instrumentation.

Wednesday , September 14th, 2005 Aurora Watch Continues Amazingly active sunspot #798 continues to stir up the pot. This giant has sparked no fewer than 9 X-Class Solar Flares since September 7th including a tremendous X-17 event. The most recent event occurred yesterday and hurled a Coronal Mass Ejection directly towards Earth. The combination of elevated geomagnetic levels and the directness of the event have forecasters suggesting a 70% chance of severe geomagnetic activity with aurora visible much further south than is typical. If it is clear where you live tonight, you are strongly encouraged to head outside and check the northern horizon periodically. Of course, you can find the latest information

Extractions: Polish Society of Amateur Astronomers WARSAW DIVISION , ul. BARTYCKA 18, 00-716 WARSZAWA PSAA was founded by famous Polish astronomers in Warsaw in 1919. Since 1948 the seat of the Headquarters of PSAA is Cracow. The Warsaw Division of PSAA was created in 1928. Our group undertakes many activities in order to promote astronomical knowledge. Since 1978 the Warsaw Division has its seat in the Nicholas Copernicus' Astronomical Centre (CAMK - ul. Bartycka 18, Warsaw). (OBSERVATIONS) Apart from showing the sky, the members of our group undertake various kinds of observations, e.g. of lunar and solar eclipses, occultations of the stars and the planets by the Moon, occultations of the stars by asteroids, measurements of variable star magnitude. We cooperate with home and foreign organisations realising analoguous observations. The results of our observations have scientific value and they are published in home and foreign astronomical magazines. During some of the observations we use CCD cameras and Electronic Time Inserter allowing tvideo registration of events.

Amateur Astronomy Magazine
News for, by and about amateur astronomers around the world. A quarterly publication with lots of articles and pictures about all aspects of amateur astronomy.
http://amateurastronomy.com

Extractions: Imagine a book nearly eight inches thick, containing thousands of pages and photographs - all on your favorite hobby. Now imagine that every three months another 68 page chapter and another hundred plus photos are added to this book. This is Amateur Astronomy Magazine! Our articles are not written by professional writers. They are written by our subscribers, amateur astronomers who know their subject and their articles reflect their love of the hobby. The articles are not edited to death so they have no life left in them. We are subscriber supported. That means that we can say what we want. If a reviewer does not like a product, we can say so, since we don't bow to the almighty advertising dollar. Each issue contains 68 pages - and less than eight pages contain advertising. We only carry enough ads to help pay the bills. We cover the subjects that you will never see in the big magazines. If we don't like a telescope or book we say so. When we go to a star party we run many pages and dozens of photos, not a paragraph or two with one small photo that doesn't tell the real story. One article ran 20 pages and had 108 photos, just to do justice to the story. We carry articles that the real amateur astronomers of the world are interested in reading - not articles that are aimed at the news stand market of casual readers, or intended for professional astronomers.
