The Hubble orbiting telescope. The Earth's atmosphere, while transparent to visible light, absorbs most "electromagnetic radiations" which belong to the same family as light: parts of the infra-red (IR) and all of the ultra-violet (UV), X-rays and gamma rays. ... The Hubble telescope , in low Earth orbit, overcomes such limitations, in the visible range and in part of the UV. ... Some satellites specialize in observing the Sun, such as the Japanese Yohkoh and NASA's SOHO . ...

... Meade Instruments Corporation . ... Meade Pictor XT-Series CCD Autoguider/Imagers . ... Take new sets of calibration frames if the temperature changes significantly.(or change the set you are using or the scaling if you are reusing calibration frames). ... You can also use scaleable dark frames called thermal frames. ... However, if you wish to reuse dark frames with images of different exposure times, you must turn the dark frame into a thermal frame by subtracting the bias information. ...

... Previous: Residual Bias Removal in HST NICMOS Images . ... Bias frames taken with CCDs should be homogeneous in intensity. ... Using a large number of bias frames obtained in one specific run, the time-dependent pattern was found to be built up of a fixed one-dimensional periodic function whose phase-shift varies from row to row. It was successfully removed from calibration and science frames through the use of pre- and upscan ``bias'' pixels available in each of these frames. ...

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...

... The Long Shadow of the Moon . ... The long shadow of the Moon fell across the continent of Antarctica on November 23rd, during the second total solar eclipse of 2003. In this view from orbit, based on data from the MODIS instrument on board the Earth observing Aqua satellite, the Moon's shadow stretches for almost 500 kilometers. ... As expected and unlike the last few years, the Earth just did not pass through any dense particle streams left over by the Sun-orbiting Comet Tempel-Tuttle. ...

The target is a new candidate qLMXB found in the J1655 field of the ChaMPlane survey. ... Use SDSS u,g,r,i,z to take light curves continuously. 3-5min exposures. ... Skyflats: Take twilight skyflats starting shortly after sunset at around 6:00pm. ... Take the first Ha skyflats with adjusted exposure time (remember to turn the tracking on during exposure and off during readout). ... Take the first I filter skyflat with exposure time equal to 1/10 of the last Ha skyflat exposure. ...

. NEVER look directly at the sun without a proper solar filter! . We have lots of different equipment available for use. Here you see our 6" solar filters. Our club always recommends that you use a FULL APERTURE solar filter. In the picture you will notice a TYPE 2 filter for VISUAL use and a TYPE 3 filter for PHOTOGRAPHIC use. Here is an easy way to remember which type solar filter you need for VISUAL OBSERVING: You have 2 EYES so you need a TYPE 2 filter!! .
