Astronomy Stuff I got my first telescope in the summer of '97. It is a used Celestron 8" SCT. I have been very happy with it while I was using it in Arizona. I belonged to the Saguaro Astronomy Club in Phoenix and found many experienced observers there. I love the clear skies of Arizona. I recently moved to New Jersey and have not yet hooked up with a club here. I am in the Cherry Hill area. If you know a good local club or just some nearby dark skies, drop me a line and let me know. Here are a few Astronomy links. Return to Main Page Satellite Visibility Do you want to see what's visible from your location? You'll need to edit your latitude and longitude.

Deep radio searches have revealed eight millisecond-period pulsars in this cluster. The 512-node Intel Paragon XPS The Caltech Computational Astronomy Group is directed by Tom Prince . We use high-performance parallel computers for analysis of data from many different observatories, e.g. Palomar, Arecibo, Parkes, the Infrared Astronomy Satellite, and the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. Caltech Computational Astronomy Projects Modern astronomical telescopes are using increasingly sophisticated instrument technology, and produce larger and more complex datasets which often require large amounts of computation to extract the maximum signal-to-noise ratio from an observation. Thus high-performance computers must be viewed as essential components of these new instruments. The following are some of our current projects in computational astronomy.

60. Review: Small Astronomical Observatories Small Astronomical observatories is the latest in the Practical astronomy Small Astronomical observatories will be required reading for anyone seriously http://www.britastro.org/journal/archive/bone.htm

J. Brit. Astron. Assoc., 1, 1997, p.41 Small Astronomical Observatories by Patrick Moore (Ed.) Springer-Verlag, 1996. ISBN 3-540-19913-6. Pp ix + 229, DM 48.00 (pbk). reviewed by Neil Bone While many forms of astronomical observation can still be readily conducted with a minimum of setting-up, the ongoing 'CCD revolution' has again brought to the fore the value and convenience of having telescopic and other equipment housed in a permanent observatory. Local light pollution need no longer necessarily be seen as an obstacle to observing, and around the world there must be many individuals and organisations contemplating the construction of observatories, even in urban locations: this volume is aimed at them. Small Astronomical Observatories is the latest in the Practical Astronomy series edited by Patrick Moore, and like its companion volumes draws on the experience and expertise of several authors. 25 articles describe, with varying levels of detail, observatories constructed by lone amateurs, schools and other educational bodies. There are clearly two main approaches to observatory building – the dome, or the run-off shed. The aesthete may plump for the elegance of the former, while the pragmatist will happily settle for the utility and comparative ease of construction of the latter. Nuggets of useful information abound – again reflecting the authors' wide experience. For instance, the use of a piece of old carpet on a concrete floor may save that dropped eyepiece, and serves to insulate the observer's feet from some of the cold. A gap between the floor and telescope mount reduces vibration. Eric Strach rotates the roof of his solar observatory on roller-skate wheels, while Terry Platt's dome runs on golf balls! Ideas gleaned from the numerous, generally clearly-written articles could be readily merged to allow construction of the ideal observatory for the individual's purposes.
