26. LiteLynx List -- Light Pollution Awareness Links Light Pollution is a serious problem for most amateur astronomers today (see Guide to what Beginning amateur astronomers can do about Light Pollution http://www.rocketroberts.com/astro/litepol.htm

Updated 15 Jan 2005 Amateur Astronomer's Notebook Light Pollution The Bane of Astronomers (Amateur and Professional) The view almost all of us had from home only 25 - 50 years ago... and what the vast majority of Americans now see from their backyard. These photos show approximately the same area of the sky; one was taken from a dark sky site and one was taken from outside a small city (Springfield, MA). Which scene do you find more appealing? Would you be pleased to learn that you as a taxpayer are likely paying money to produce some of the scourge seen on the right? New Feature! Click the above graphic to see some of the best and worst examples of lighting in Wilbraham MA. Introduction Light Pollution is a serious problem for most amateur astronomers today (see the pictures just above). The picture on the left was taken at a dark sky location (Colebrook, CT USA); the photo on the right was taken from Wilbraham MA USA looking towards Springfield, MA (A city of about 250,000 people). The light pollution in the Springfield MA area is very bad (and Springfield is considered a small city by most people). Unless you live way worse visibility because of the excessive glare they produce. Everyone can benefit from improved lighting; lower tax bills, less air pollution, improved visibility and more. It is in the best interest of everyone to reduce light pollution!

This page updated 14 Jan 2005 Introduction Welcome to the Amateur Astronomer's Notebook! This site is the result of a joint effort by two amateur astronomers, Joe Roberts and Peter Chapin. Here you will find information on a variety of topics that may be of interest to both casual star watchers as well as experienced amateurs. Below is a list of topics available for your inspection. We hope that you will find this site useful! Menu Joe Roberts Astrophotography . A chronicle of my activities in astrophotography (includes both film and CCD images). Over 200 amateur astrophotos for your perusal! Nearly 100% of the photos in this gallery are original pictures taken by Joe Roberts. Information For Observers Naked Eye Observing . Many people believe that a telescope is required to participate in amateur astronomy. However, that's not true. A lot of very interesting observing can be done without any optical aid at all particularly if you have dark skies. Advice for first time telescope buyers . Are you thinking of getting into Astronomy? Here is some advice about what to look for and what to avoid. Equipment Reviews . My personal reviews of selected astronomical equipment. Software Reviews . My comments on selected astronomical software packages. Keeping warm at the telescope . Here is some advice on ways to stay warm while enjoying the clear winter skies. Astrophotography for Beginners . Here are some hints on getting started with taking pictures of the sky. You might be surprised at how little specialized equipment is necessary! However, astrophotography does present some special problems that regular photography doesn't.

Example BAMBI Waterfall Drifting CW Detection (Terrestrial Origin) Can you find it? A faint 3.8 GHz drifting continuous wave (CW) narrow band signal is visible below. Although this signal was of terrestrial origin (you are looking at the 30th harmonic of an ovenized 128 MHz TTL oscillator soldered to a resistor lead, mounted two yards BEHIND the dish for high attenuation, mixed with actual sky signal at RA 19:46:05 DEC +40 43), we are searching for real signals that have a similar drifting CW characteristic due to possible doppler shift. The horizontal axis of this display block corresponds to 600 channels (1 Hz per channel), and the vertical axis represents time (240 lines at 2 seconds per line). The slope of this signal is approximately + 3 Hz per second, with an inflection reversing to - 3 Hz per second. Unlike this test signal, a real extraterrestial source would be expected to maintain a constant slope. BAMBI Sites: SITE A: California. SITE B: Colorado.

Tectron Collimation Tools 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.

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.

Greetings! Greetings and salutations, enlightened web traveler! You have found the home page of the Twin City Amateur Astronomers , bringing astronomy to the masses in the twin cities of Bloomington-Normal, Illinois, and the surrounding county. Since 1960, the members of the Twin City Amateur Astronomers have explored the heavens, sought to share the joys of astronomy with the community, and generally just have a good time. These web pages represent an extension of our mission: now we are not only bringing astronomy to the masses in situ , as it were, but in a virtual way, to people hunched over their computer monitors. Hey, people, straighten up! New, New, New! Our next public observing session is this Saturday, the 10th of September, at 8 PM, and the weather is shaping up to be exceedingly fine. Join us for a great night under the stars. Check out the 2005 Public Observing Schedule for details and directions. Our President, Lyle Rich, tragically passed away on August 26th, far, far too soon: our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Our newest Observer includes a remembrance.

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). We present 8 pages introducing the topics of our activity and 1 page containing useful astronomical WWW addresses. AKTUALNOSCI (ACTUALITIES) Latest informations concerning meetings, lectures, exhibitions and ephemerides of interesting astronomical phenomena. POKAZY NIEBA (SKY SHOW) During evenings with clear sky, on Mondays, we show the sky by telescope. If it is necessary,this activity is being undertaken also in other week-days. In case of phenomena of special importance or spectacularity the observations may be organised in other places. OBSERWACJE (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.
