After about five years of having this page up, I have abrogated my association with the San Francisco Sidewalk Astronomersmainly because I don't physically go out to the sidewalk anymore with my telescope(s). . . However, in this virtual world, I still encourage others to do so: it's a great way to 'share the universe' (and your enthusiasm!), especially if your temperament is at all outgoing. . . This page will continue to have some "sidewalk-like" articles beneath its cover, but it will also be geared to the average astro-interested beginner.

These telescopes feature solid performance and high qualitative optics at an attractive price. Now they are well-known to amateurs astronomers in Europe and America. Distinctive optics of the big military binoculars find a peaceful use now. They are applied as for sky reviews and comets searching and for terrain observations. Another equipment like night vision devices and telescopic sights are intended for hunters, sportsmen and quards. There are measuring microscopes and projection instruments, index heads, autocollimators, optical inclimeters, optical benches, linear displacement transducers for NC machines, optics for machines, medical and veterinary instruments also.

31. Ancient Astronomers Ancient astronomers studied the night sky, ancient artists painted magical animals on cave walls. Links to information on the subject. http://psychicinvestigator.com/Link/PsiLnk.htm

Psi Links to ANCIENT TIMES Stone Age Cave Paintings An exceptionally important archaeological discovery has recently been made in the Ardèche gorges(southern France), on the edge of a national reserve, in the form of a vast underground network of cavesdecorated with paintings and engravings dating from the Palaeolithic age. Archeoastronomy Richard Hoagland: "Under any other circumstances, the loss of such an important and productive mission would have beenmerely tragic. But considering the work that SOHO had been doing just prior to it's "malfunction," theramifications took on a new and ominous light."

Famous Astronomers and Astrophysicists Alphabetical Classical Period Nicolaus Copernicus Polish developed a simple heliocentric model of the solar system that explained planetary retrograde motion and overturned Greek astronomy Tycho Brahe Danish observed a supernova now known as ``Tycho's supernova''; made the most precise observations of stellar and planetary positions then known Galileo Galilei Italian performed fundamental observations, experiments, and mathematical analyses in astronomy and physics; discovered mountains and craters on the moon, the phases of Venus, and the four largest satellites of Jupiter: Io, Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede Johannes Kepler German established the most exact astronomical tables then known; established the three laws of planetary motion John Babtist Riccioli Italian made telescopic lunar studies and published detailed lunar maps in which he introduced much nomenclature for lunar objects; discovered the first double star (Mizar) Giovanni Cassini Italian-born French measured rotational periods of Jupiter and Mars; discovered four satellites of Saturn and the gap in Saturn's rings now known as ``Cassini's division'' Christiaan Huygens Dutch discovered Saturn's first satellite, Titan, and the true shape of Saturn's rings

33. A Backyard Astronomer For beginning backyard astronomers, listing planetary positions, comets, asteroids, meteor showers, tips lots of links. http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hall/7536/index.html

Backyard Astronomy formerly Barbara's Backyard Astronomy Page What a great start to the new year! Wonderful pictures of Mars coming from our rovers, Saturn well placed and looking good, a never before seen comet bright enough for large binoculars and small scopes, high in the west after sunset. And the sky is coming up galaxies! As you look toward the north at Ursa Major and farther east to Leo, ponder the mysteries of life, and know that you are looking outward from our home galaxy into the great expanse. You are looking at other vast islands of swirling stars in the darkness of space, they are where other worlds abide, perhaps with life like us, but so very far away. Let your eyes fully dark adapt and aim your scope carefully with the use of a good map, . . .Steady, go slowly, sweep the area, and you too will see these fascinating and oh so varied objects. Don't just look at the galaxy in the eyepiece, shrug and say "It looked just like the last one!". Because it didn't. Use a large dark bath towel over your head or pull your hood forward and up around the eyepiece, sealing out stray light. Study the object, does it seem uneven or misshapen, are there any bright spots in it? Can you see any others in the field of view? Don't just look at it really see it . Draw what you see, you will be amazed at the detail you can perceive while trying to draw a faint object.

ASTROFEST 2000, 2-12-2000, MAIN LIBRARY LOS ANGELES 2nd year and still going strong, come along and enjoy an astronomy filled day starting at 8:00am till 5:00pm. Last year we Sidewalk Astronomers built a 10" telescope,(photos below)in about 8 hours, and again this year we will do the same. Numerous lectures on astronomy will be held inside the library along with our very own John Dobson giving a cosmologicaly enlightening discussion. Your more than welcome to come along and join in with the building of the telescope or just come along and watch and learn. Any questions about this event call Dana Eklund at 323-263-6902 The Sidewalk Astronomers build another telescope, this time for the Los Angeles Astro Fest 1999, at the Main Library in downtown. Bob, John and Jerry lend a hand building a 10" dobsonian. It was completed in under 8 hours and used that evening on the Moon. The Sidewalk Astronomers are proud of their 30 years of public service. The Sidewalk Astronomers are not your typical astronomy group. We prefer to hang out on street corners and show strangers the Moon, or Jupiter and other celestial objects. A lot of people ask me when is the next dark sky party, which we try to have monthly, but. We are the SIDEWALK Astronomers, and I have yet to have seen a sidewalk, with a passing by crowd, up on top of a mountain. Dark sky parties are fun, but is not our goal. Our goal is to have that 7 year old, gaze through the eyepiece, and with amazement ask questions. For that 7 year old, to go to bed dreaming of how all this got to be so fantastic. We prefer to create thinkers, dreamers, our future. It's that simple we are the

36. Amateur Astronomy Magazine News for, by and about amateur astronomers around the world. A quarterly publication with lots of articles and pictures about all aspects of amateur astronomy. http://amateurastronomy.com

Amateur Astronomy Magazine Amateur Astronomy, Observing , and Telescope Making around the world. Home Page Subscription information An Overview of Past Articles Order back issues ... Tectron Collimation Tools Imagine a book nearly eight inches thick, containing thousands of pages and photographs - all on your favorite hobby. Now imagine that every three months another 68 page chapter and another hundred plus photos are added to this book. This is Amateur Astronomy Magazine! Our articles are not written by professional writers. They are written by our subscribers, amateur astronomers who know their subject and their articles reflect their love of the hobby. The articles are not edited to death so they have no life left in them. We are subscriber supported. That means that we can say what we want. If a reviewer does not like a product, we can say so, since we don't bow to the almighty advertising dollar. Each issue contains 68 pages - and less than eight pages contain advertising. We only carry enough ads to help pay the bills. We cover the subjects that you will never see in the big magazines. If we don't like a telescope or book we say so. When we go to a star party we run many pages and dozens of photos, not a paragraph or two with one small photo that doesn't tell the real story. One article ran 20 pages and had 108 photos, just to do justice to the story. We carry articles that the real amateur astronomers of the world are interested in reading - not articles that are aimed at the news stand market of casual readers, or intended for professional astronomers.
