More detailed discussion is devoted to MASS and DIMM measurements processing, some additional effects which were taken in account in last year. ...

NMW survey overview . Access image archive . ... The New Milky Way survey aims to detect bright (V<13.5) optical transients near the Galactic plane using an automated wide-field (8x6 deg.) system capable of surveying the whole Milky Way area visible from the observing site in one night. ... All images obtained during the transient search survey are available online (please use the image archive access form ). ... Images per field: . ... Images per night: . ...

... GCR and SCR are primary cosmic rays. 10-15 years after the discovery of cosmic radiation (1919) there emerged two main avenues of investigation in the physics of cosmic rays (CR): 1) nuclear - elucidation of the origin of elementary particles and nuclear interactions; and 2) astrophysical (space physics) - solution of the problem related to the origin and variations (changes in intensity) of CR. ... Besides, the CR flux in interplanetary space is, strictly speaking, not isotropic. ...

... The author attempts to approach the problem from the positions of systems analysis with account for the ideological grounds and history of space activities in Russia and abroad, comparing its current interpretation with the initial goals posed by leading theoreticians and practitioners who stood at the cradle of the space exploration era. ... The space systems recognized in Russia as priority projects are largely developed with violations of the systems approach principles. ...

... Free image alignment/stacking/processing Software . My lunar drawings . ... REAL TELESCOPES . ... Download Pocket-Aberrator . ... The Aberrator is freeware that generates star-testing images to show the effects of aberrations (distortions) influencing the quality of a telescopes performance. ... The idea to make a program like the Aberrator I got after studying many internet-sites on star-testing and often the effects of certain aberrations were only available as literal descriptions. ...
