Personal Pages of Astronomers It may be hard to believe, but I am not the only person in the world who likes astronomy. There are thousands of us out there! Each is unique. Everyone has different interests. Some like to take pictures with an "old fashioned" SLR camera and some like using advanced Charged Coupled Devices (CCD). There are even a very few of us that are fortunate enough to get paid for studying the universe. Some of us just like to look up to the night sky and wonder what makes it all go. I hope you take the time and explore some of these sites on the internet and realize how important astronomy is to us. If you would like to have your home page added here e-mail me at stargazer@voyager.net and I will add it. Be sure to put "Personal Page" in the subject heading. If you would like to add a link to my home page from yours then you certainly may do so (Just let me know - I get a kick out of seeing links to my page !). If you have trouble with any of the links on this page or discover that a URL has changed then please notify me and I will correct it. Also, if you find a home page that is not appropriate (i.e. UFO nut cases) then please notify me and I'll remove it. I've only had the chance to check out a handful of these sites myself. Thanks for stopping by! Special thanks to Kevin Jung for helping me maintain this site and keep it up-to-date!

67. The Role Of CCD Cameras In Amateur Astronomy The Role of CCD Cameras in amateur astronomy That is not to say that many amateur astronomers do not do science of a high order. http://www.mailbag.com/users/ragreiner/ALPaper.html

The Role of CCD Cameras in Amateur Astronomy Presented at NCRAL 2000  May, 6  2000 by R. A. Greiner Abstract: This presentation will include specific discussion of middle and advanced level CCD equipment commonly used by amateur astronomers for digital imaging. Both the camera equipment and the control software will be discussed. The specifications of the equipment required to accomplish specific guiding and imaging goals will be emphasized. Current available hardware and software and how they interrelate are of concern and will be detailed. The presentation will include discussion of complete setups, from camera to telescope to software, which need to be coordinated to successfully accomplish specific imaging goals. Speculation on the state of the current art and the future of digital imaging will be presented. 0. Amateur and Professional Cameras Compared One needs to be careful when using the terms amateur and professional. In this paper, the distinction is made without any denigration of the amateur in any way. It is made only to narrow the field of concerns and applications regarding CCD cameras. Generally the discussion here will be for cameras that are applied to smaller telescopes, say under 16 inches and in a price range that is within the reach of a serious amateur. While amateur and professional cameras have mainly similar goals. The amateur camera is most often used to make pretty pictures while the professional camera is used for scientific imaging, quantitative measurements, spectral studies and the like. That is not to say that many amateur astronomers do not do science of a high order. Indeed, this is especially possible with some recent cameras and accessories. There is no doubt that good science can be done with what is generally considered amateur equipment.

Amateur astronomy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Amateur astronomy , also called backyard astronomy , is a hobby whose participants enjoy watching the night sky (and the day sky too, for sunspots, eclipses, etc.), and the plethora of objects found in it, mainly with portable telescopes and binoculars . Even though scientific research is not their main goal, many amateur astronomers make a contribution to astronomy by monitoring variable stars , tracking asteroids and discovering transient objects, such as comets . Such efforts are one of the relatively few ways interested amateurs can still make useful contributions to scientific knowledge. Large encounters of amateur astronomers in dark places suitable for sky viewing are called star parties Amatuer Telescope Makers (ATM's) combine the hobbies of observing and designing, building and constructing telescopes. This hobby was pioneered in America by Russell Porter, who later played a major role in design and construction of the Hale Telescope. Beginners. A good place to start exploring the night sky is with the more prominent constellations which serve as markers for many binocular or telescopic objects, and with the
