... We publish 16 Doppler imaging temperature maps for the years 1994-2002 of the active RS CVn star II Peg. ... Through Doppler imaging we want to study the spot evolution of the star and in particular compare this with previous results showing a cyclic spot behaviour and persistent active longitudes. ... The derived temperature maps are quite similar to the ones obtained earlier with a different methods, the main differences occurring in the spot latitudes and relative strength of the spot structures....

... I was an active amateur from 1976-1983, observing meteors from 1978 on. ... I finally got back into the hobby in 1995, joining the North Shore Amateur Astronomy Club in 1996 and then the ATMs of Boston and NHAS in 1997. ... Lew Gramer maintains two email lists related to amateur observing: http://www.visualdeepsky.org (devoted to observing logs of deep-sky objects from amateurs) and: http://www.meteorobs.org (devoted to amateur meteor observing) ...

Figure 10. The circles show the thermal defocus corrections that were observed on August 15, 2000. These data were derived by combining the defocus measurements seen in Figure 6 with the thermal measurements of the truss seen in Figure 7. ... I then fit the thermal defocus data given by the circles above using only the thermal time constant and an arbitrary "zero-point" constant as fit parameters. ... M1 corresponds to a thermal time constant of 0.37 hours (22 minutes) for the rods. ...

... Concept Spacecraft . ... The proposed lentiular design concept for the Apollo spacecraft was one of several unorthodox designs rejected in favour of the more familiar conical shape which was lighter and less complex.The lenticular design was a ?road not taken?, losing out to less challenging configurations.It is strange to think that if history had proceeded differently, each Apollo crew could have ended their lunar mission by gliding to a touchdown on a runway at Edwards AFB in a flying saucer! ...

... The probability to see blazars with INTEGRAL instruments will increase with time as better limits will be achieved and the chance to have an observation during flaring episode will also correspondingly increase. Key words: INTEGRAL satellite, blazars. ... IBIS total exposure times for blazars, CP data, revolutions 1­250. ... Within the INTEGRAL observation, the S5 0716+714 was detected only by IBIS ISGRI at 4.5 sigma, in 30­ 60 keV band, for a count rate of 0.11 counts s-1 (exposure 280 ksec). ...
