... Oleg V. Verkhodanov . ... The last few years have changed our view on the evolution of galaxies: the most distant galaxies (i.e. systems having stellar population) have been found at redshift z=6.68 (Chen H.-W., Lanzetta, K. M., Pascarelle, S. 1999, Nature, 398 , 586) and radio galaxy at z=5.19 (van Breugel W., De Breuck C., Stanford S. A., Stern D., Rottgering H., Miley G. 1999. astro-ph/9904272 ). ... Redshifts and age of stellar systems of distant radio galaxies from multicolour photometry data. ...

STARTEST IMAGES GALLERY . STARTESTING TELESCOPES WITH AN AUTOCOLLIMATOR . ... This website is a joint effort of Markus Ludes from APM-Telescopes and Cor Berrevoets ( Aberrator free startesting Software ). The site aims at explaining the different aspects of star-testing telescopes. ... Markus Ludes (APM telescopes) used a high quality 10" Maksutov Newtonian (Zygo tested at 632,8 nm with the following errors: 1/10.1 wavefront p.t.v. and 1/51 wavefront RMS) as collimator in single pass scheme. ...

... Multiexposition 34 images Sun 1/1000 sec f/22 and 1 image background. ... It shows position of the Sun on the sky in the same time of a day during one year. Analemma - a trace of the annual movement of the Sun on the sky - is well known among experts of sun-dials and old Earth's globes as a diagram of change of seasons and an equation of time. ... Previously, the position of the Sun on the sky was calculated with computer as well as optimal moments of time for taking each of the exposures. ...
