Astronomy Stuff
I got my first telescope in the summer of '97. It is a used Celestron 8" SCT. I have been very happy with it while I was using it in Arizona. I belonged to the Saguaro Astronomy Club in Phoenix and found many experienced observers there. I love the clear skies of Arizona. I recently moved to New Jersey and have not yet hooked up with a club here. I am in the Cherry Hill area. If you know a good local club or just some nearby dark skies, drop me a line and let me know.
Here are a few Astronomy links.

The group (and the department) is undergoing a massive regeneration, with a new professorial appointment and two new lectureships in Astronomy. This is further to the recent ARC postdoctoral positions. The department has also made two new appointments in physics (one lectureship, one post-Doc). These are exciting times. On December 4th 2002 there was a total solar eclipse and the best place in the world to see it was the town of Ceduna in South Australia. It just happens that the University of Tasmania operates a radiotelescope just north of Ceduna and a team of us went off to Ceduna to view the eclipse, do some science and show off our beautiful telescope.

Caltech Computational Astronomy Projects
Modern astronomical telescopes are using increasingly sophisticated instrument technology, and produce larger and more complex datasets which often require large amounts of computation to extract the maximum signal-to-noise ratio from an observation. Thus high-performance computers must be viewed as essential components of these new instruments. The following are some of our current projects in computational astronomy.

51. Archaeoastronomy And The Search For Ancient Observatories
Brief overview of the use of astronomy in different ancient cultures across the world.
http://www.uiowa.edu/~anthro/webcourse/lost/projects97/Archae.html
ARCHAEOASTRONOMY AND THE SEARCH FOR ANCIENT OBSERVATORIES
by Lyndsay Kyker With the emergence of Archaeoastronomy over the past few decades, the sciences have been presented with a unique opportunity to delve into the basis of ancient studies through the study of astronomical phenomenon. Beginning with the groundbreaking interpretations of Harvard astronomist Gerald Hawkins in reference to astronomical alignments at Stonehenge in England, the field has expanded greatly to encompass pre-historic cultures on a global basis. Once thought to be 'savages' incapable of actively engaging in the world of 'science' we are finding that Old World and New World cultures alike shared a vested interest in astronomy and the regularity of prediction to be gained from their knowledge of the night skies. The derivative cultures being accessed through the remnants they have left behind possess powerful and unique identities and eschatologies, constructing their universes in drastically different ways than perhaps even their closest neighbors. While many of the structures which have been documented over the years as being used in some capacity for astronomical observation, and which often times share the same alignments and impart meaning on the same events such as solstice or equinox, those responsible for their construction may have had very different reasons for doing so, based on their own world views and cultural values.

Radio Astronomy.
Radio astronomy is astronomical observation at radio wavelengths. For example, you can observe the Crab Nebula at the wavelength of visible light by looking at the light it emits through a telescope or at radio wavelengths by looking at the data from a radio telescope that observes the radio waves it emits. You can learn more about radio astronomy.
The Radio telescope.
This radio astronomy project has as its antenna a 5 meter parabolic dish antenna on the roof of Lilly Hall at the University of Indianapolis. The dish focuses the radio waves into a feedhorn, which collects the radio waves for the electronic devices that make up the receiver. The receiver converts the radio waves into a DC voltage that is proportional to the total power of the radio waves collected. The DC voltage goes into an Analog/Digital converter that converts the voltage to a digital computer number. The time and voltage are recorded in a data file by a computer. You can read more about the technical details.
