Chiara and I are back from the first year astronomy at Prarotto , held on Saturday, February 5 (on the side, a moment of observation). The weather in the afternoon seemed to interfere much with the performance of the evening, around 14 the sky was covered with glaze. Fortunately, the coverage after it was fragmented and did not remain at sunset only a few clouds, quickly disappeared soon after. Besides us and his friend Luciano and there were four other amateurs in all there were six telescopes . Stood out among all the Baker-Schmidt Luciano (first test), but also a Tecnosky from 115mm apochromatic , elder brother of our , the latter also for the first time grappling with the deep sky. First photos to Rocciamelone and Moon, with a beautiful light ashy , then the first observations on Jupiter, for all those who, unfortunately with seeing bad enough, then gradually improved. The dark everyone's attention was focused on the deep sky with Orion quale costellazione maggiormente gettonata. Io mi sono portato il newton 12cm f/6 col quale ho intrapreso un tour di parecchi oggetti interessanti in zona M 42 e dintorni, ma anche in altre costellazioni. Devo dire che è un vero piacere dedicarsi al visuale senza avere problemi di messa a fuoco, inseguimento, batterie scariche e simili... Un altro degli strumenti era utilizzato soprattutto per osservazioni visuali, mentre i rimanenti quattro si dedicavano a riprese e collaudi di vario tipo. Chiara si è dedicata per gran parte del tempo alle riprese di M 42, Luciano alla M 31. Intorno alle 21 si è avuta un'invasione di veli e cirri sempre più consistenti, che hanno bloccato sul nascere due tentativi di Chiara di fotografare M 31 e le Pleiadi. As planned we dismounted and started to return. Too bad, because after all the sky sunny and temperature of +9 degrees invited to extend the observations.
The Kepler space telescope has discovered a solar system has 6 planets, all orbiting around a sun similar to ours. They are located at distances very different from those in our solar system, probably are not too favorable to the life worlds, but we are getting closer and closer to the discovery of planets similar to our Earth (Universe Today ).
on a world much closer, like Mars, the landscape can be very strange and surprising: this looks like a negative of a resumption of deep-sky ( Universe Today). Similar, but much more urbanized, this shooting Paolo Nespoli of a Chinese city, seen as always from the International Space Station.
From even the storms are too afraid, however, offer fascinating images. Universe Today article on it looks at the big snow storm in the U.S. and the Cyclone Yasi in Australia. Nespoli resumed again by ISS the Strait of Messina .
Dall ' AAVSO comes the' call for visual observers of variable stars to follow the Z Canis Majoris, in these days around the outburst magnitude +8.5, more than two magnitudes beyond the norm.
