... We sometimes use the word "nebula" to refer to galaxies, various types of star clusters and various kinds of interstellar dust/gas clouds. ... Early in this century, there was a great debate as to the nature of the nebulae like this one which at that time could not be resolved into individual stars. ... A typical galaxy is 100,000 light-years in diameter. ... M 42 shown) Reflection nebulae are clouds of dust which are simply reflecting the light of a nearby star or stars. ... M 1 shown) . ...

... In typical nightly use, the wide field and planetary telescope and cameras record images of favorably placed objects in the sky, including constellations, bright variable stars, nebulae through narrow-band filters, comets, the Moon, and planets. ... Shared Skies telescopes are available for use by students at the University of Louisville and the University of Southern Queensland, and by teachers and students in middle and high schools mentored by faculty at the universities. ...

This document discusses the conventions for combining region and table filters, especially with regards to the comma operator. Filter specifications consist of a series of boolean expressions, separated by commas. ... Region and table filters can be combined: foo.fits[circle(10,10,3),pi=1:5] or even: foo.fits[pha==1 (10,10,3),pi==2 (20,20,8,5)] In these cases, it is not obvious whether the command should utilize an or or and operator. ...

... NGC 281 (Sharpless 184) is a bustling cradle of star formation about 10,000 light years away. ... The central stars are being formed from the surrounding gas, which emits a large amount of hydrogen alpha (Ha) light after being excited by stellar radiation. ...

... We describe a tool in the PCIPS environment for finishing the job of globular cluster photometry started by DAOPHOT II: starting with the instrumental magnitudes derived by DAOPHOT II, DASHA can automatically produce final color-magnitude diagrams. ... DASHA can automate the whole process of globular cluster photometry, from instrumental magnitude lists produced by DAOPHOT II, to final color-magnitude diagrams. ... DASHA is oriented towards star lists produced by DAOPHOT II as source data. ...

... The third processing stage filters the combined event list to produce the filtered event list, which contains the collection of node-specific exposure maps. ... Combining the event filtering with exposure map construction in one step assures mutual consistency. ... If the original combined event list is missing (as, for example, in the PPS) the original filtered event list is acceptable as a substitute if no changes have been made to the original attitude and housekeeping GTI. ...
