Friends This web site is a continuous work in progress. I frequently update different areas, so check back often. If you have any questions, criticism, suggestions, etc., please contact me at the e-mail link provided at the top of this page. And if you would be so kind, please sign my guest book which can be reached through the link button below. Thank You! What are your local weather conditions like today? Will the skies be clear at night for observing? What time is sunrise and sunset? And how about moonrise and moonset? There are applets here in the section that you can use and customize to your locality. You will also find some great, constantly updating solar photos and information. Information and Learning If you are planning to buy a telescope, be sure to visit the Learn Before You Buy page. It could lead you to a smarter buying decision. Not sure what a particular astronomy related word means? The Astronomer's Dictionary can help you out. The Opinions/Mini Reviews pages cover all of the astronomy related products that I have personally used.

W elcome to the home page Thomas Williamson's Amateur Astronomy. The purpose of this site is to showcase my amateur astronomy projects. This includes high-resolution imaging of the Sun, Moon and Planets with a backyard telescope. The Solar System as imaged with a 203 mm f/7 newtonian telescope. The Sun, Moon, and planets (all but Pluto) were imaged using a Philips ToUcam Pro 740K webcam. These are not reproduced to scale but are close to relative apparent diameters as seen from Earth.

Welcome to my Amateur Astronomy Page. My name is Paul and I'm a keen amateur astronomer now living near Andover in Hampshire, UK, about miles west of London , although many of my images were taken when I was living on the outskirts of London. This page shows that it is possible to carry out astrophotography, even when living in light polluted suburbs, if a modern CCD camera is used. My main interest is deep sky photography and many of the pictures on this site are examples of galaxies and nebulae. I also enjoy photographing the moon and planets so I have included some planetary and lunar photographs as well. Click on the links in the yellow bar at the left to see the pictures. Click above for the top 100 astronomy sites list and help put this site nearer the top of the list ! THANK-YOU See Mars, high in the South now See M31, the Andromeda Galaxy See Comet 17P/Holmes in outburst.

I have used two telescopes and two 35mm camera lenses with this camera.

The How-to Manual That You Can Edit Help RSS Create an account or log in My talk ... Del.icio.us Digg Facebook Blogger Google Bookmarks Yahoo MyWeb ... How to Get Started in Amateur Astronomy When you look up at the darkened sky and gaze at the stars, some seem to be blinking, and you wonder why. All of a sudden, you can see a shooting star and the little dipper. The moon is in an eclipse, and a feeling of wonder overcomes you. There is so much up there to learn about and enjoy, and it is not difficult or expensive to become involved. edit Steps Read about astronomy. Merely looking up in the sky will not teach you all you need to know, so visit your local library and browse through the astronomy section. There are a variety of books which are geared toward beginners as well as the more advanced. Find one that is an introduction to astronomy, and learn about the physics of the cosmos. Surf the Internet under 'Astronomy' and be assured you will receive a vast array of information as well as pictures. Visit a planetarium or observatory. Many obervatories have huge, expensive telescopes and offer you an exciting as well as informative way of observing the many wonders of the sky. Check with your local science museum to see if they offer a star-gazing night open to the public. Visit the observatory at night, climb up to the tower, and observe first hand, through their powerful telescopes, what you have learned and seen up until now only in books. A planetarium uses projectors to offer an artificial view of the night sky. The chairs recline, the room becomes black, and all you see are stars in a darkened sky. This is a great way to get started because you will have access to an expert guide to answer your questions. You also will get to meet others with similar interests.

40. Amateur Astronomy We will teach amateur astronomists to navigate the stars at night, locate 3 constellations, 2 stars and 1 planet. http://www.quietbay.net/Science/astronomy/nightsky/002.html
