Hi All Here we are again. It's time to ask for a couple of after tea speakers for our next main meeting on the 10th. Please let me know if you would like to...
Hi, Played around a bit more with my eclipse images, this time trying to do a composite of different exposures of the solar corona and bring out some...
Hi Bob, Hopefully I'll have a few slides of the eclipse, and a three-minute video too. Andrew. ======================================== Message Received: Apr...
So what do we think of tonight for observing? and what time does it start if yes? Owen Owen Brazell Editor Webb DSO www.webbsociety.freeserve.co.uk ...
For those that may be interested, the following is an extract from a circular issued by the BAA: A nova has been discovered in Cygnus by Hideo Nishimura. D....
Any of you planetary imagers feel like imaging Jupiter and its new red spot in the early hours of Saturday morning? If so, see the message below, which I...
Hi all have put a link to my home page in the Links section, it has a selection of my first attempts at imaging and a description of my setup. I dont claim to...
Hi All, Anyone who doesn't subscrive to Aurora Watch should do if they want to see this remarkable and beautiful phenomenon. Go on, give them some support. ...
Well I managed to sneak in a look at both Jupiter and the new comet (well two bits of it anyway) between table tennis and it clouding over about 1:30. The two...
Hi Owen, I had a look for it tonight, and using the map in Sky and Telescope (May edition, p.61), managed to find it in my 80mm refractor. Though I was able to...
So, who apart from Owen has seen this comet? And which fragments have you observed? Early on thursday morning (~1.30am) I had my first 'good' look at Fragment...
I think we had our last chance if the weather had cleared tonight. After this the moon starts to get in the way. The forecast for the next week is not good...
Having thought about this statement: "So while it has been called a 'Comet Train'; it seems that each 'carriage' is definately running on it's own set of...
First chance tonight to try and get and image of this. A struggle to get this between the clouds and a high level haze. Guided on the comet so the stars are...
Hey Chris, That's a nice image. How did you get it? I also was out last night; I managed to find and observe Fragment B, as well as C. But as you said, there...
Ah but if you had been where I was by 22:30 it had clouded over almost completely. The high bands did not make it worth going out at all Owen ... Owen Brazell ...
Well I put my scope out to 'cool down' at 11pm, but didn't go outside to observe until 12.45am (I got side-tracked!!) ...and I stayed out until 2.15am. ...
I was also out last night, but not quite as late as you as I had to get up 'early' this morning (I actually do other stuff occasionally besides astronomy). Saw...
Hi Julian Last night was very weird. 22.30 not a star in the sky as band upon band of cloud came through, so did a load of darks in case it cleared. By 00.30...
Just (1:30am) got 73P fragment C in a 4" reflector, right where the finder chart said it would be. There's a bit of haze about, so not brilliant seeing, but I...
Hi, Eventually got to see and image comet 73P on Friday night. It took me a while to convince myself I could see it in my 7x42 binocs as it only appeared to me...
Hi Paul, This is brilliant!! I hope you'll be able to show the full animation at the meeting tonight? Cheers, Andrew. ======================================== ...
So as it's coming close, I tried 73P again tonight. I noticed early on that it's nearly the full moon, giving me a naked eye limiting magnitude of 3.0. It...
