What is Amateur Astronomy Magazine About? Amateur Astronomy Magazine is a printed forum of the activities relating to Amateur Astronomers around the world. Our magazine is written by amateur astronomers, for amateur astronomers. We are about astronomical community and those fireside chats that evolve at a great star party when the clouds roll in. Over the course of the past 14 years, we have covered telescopes, large and small, amateur telescope making, mirror grinding, collimating tips, observing techniques, astronomical equipment reviews, home observatories, professional observatories, observing lists, profiles of amateur astronomers, star parties, dark sites, imaging tips and techniques, observing logs, astronomical travel logs, astronomy businesses and their owners, DIY astronomical projects, cosmology, science and astronomy outreach. In short,we are about all the things and people that make this hobby special. In The Current Issue # 57 (Spring 2008) " The Portable .7 Meter CDK Alt/Az Telescope "

Amateur astronomy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search This article or section is missing citations or needs footnotes Using inline citations (December 2007) Amateur astronomers watch the night sky during the Perseid meteor shower Amateur astronomy , a subset of astronomy , is a hobby whose participants enjoy studying and observing celestial objects. Contents Overview Amateur astronomy objectives Common tools Common techniques ... edit Overview The amateur astronomer is one who does not depend on the field of astronomy as a primary source of income or support, and does not have a professional degree or advanced academic training. Many amateurs are beginners, while others have a high degree in astronomy and often assist and work along side professional astronomers. Amateur astronomy is usually associated with viewing the night sky when most celestial objects and events are visible, but sometimes amateur astronomers also operate during the day for events such as sunspots and solar eclipses . Amateur astronomers often look at the sky using nothing more than their eyes, but common tools for amateur astronomy include portable telescopes and binoculars People have studied the sky throughout history in an amateur framework, without any formal method of funding. It is only within about the past century, however, that amateur astronomy has become an activity clearly distinguished from professional astronomy, and other related activities.

7. Prairie Astronomy Club: Amateur Astronomy The role of the amateur astronomer, and possible contributions within different fields. http://www.prairieastronomyclub.org/amateurs.html

Amateur Astronomy By: Dave Scherping I feel that part of my role as president is to help our members continue to grow and not lose interest in astronomy. As with most hobbies, if there's no variation or challenges, you may lose interest. One way to add variation and excitement is to get involved in one of the activities in which amateur astronomers can make contributions to science. Astronomy is unique among the sciences in that amateurs can and do play an important role. When was the last time you heard of an amateur chemist, biologist, or geologist making an important discovery? Sure, some amateurs dabble in these sciences but rarely do they contribute significant observations or discoveries. In astronomy, professionals are typically absorbed in teaching and conducting specialized research, and observing time at the major observatories is limited and not easy to come by. This leaves open numerous areas in which amateurs can contribute. Below are a few examples : Comet Hunting is the field that usually comes to mind when we think of amateur discoveries. Mankind has had an interest in comets since the ancient days, and devotion to comet discovery can be traced back many centuries. Since the invention of the telescope, many individuals have devoted entire lifetimes to being the first to observe a new comet. It's the one discovery that eternally carries the name of the discoverer. Comet hunting does indeed require dedication. Avid comet hunters are ready to go at dusk nearly every clear night of the year and are up then a couple of hours before dawn, searching the skies again. Some have searched for years with little success, while others have found several. All will tell you, the rewards are worth it.

He was a human being who showed a deep insight into human nature and could illustrate that insight in a meaningful and humerous way. His books, lectures and stories have been an inspiration to our family for many years. One of his best work is Surely You Are Joking Mr. Feynman .

There are innumerable web sites already devoted to general astronomy and so we start below with just a guide to some introductory sites and a few of the major astronomy link lists. We will focus here more on sites related to astronomy projects where amateurs can make significant contributions. One of the most wonderful aspects of astronomy is that amateurs still make significant contributions.

Amateur Astronomy. I've been interested in astronomy since I was a teenager. Many start out as an amateur and occasionally some progress to professional astronomy. I stayed amateur and instead became a computer programmer, but I've happily ended up at a major professional observatory. This has enriched my hobby and allowed me to evolve in ways not available to most others. I have access to resources and people that others can never have. My interests in amateur astronomy have always been technically inclined, always building my own equipment where possible.
