Jump to top [2] Astronomical Observatories Now Accessible over High-speed Networks released April 25, 2000 A new high-performance Internet connection will transform the ability of astronomers to access world-leading telescopes located on the peak of Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaii. The University of Hawaii and the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA), with support from the National Science Foundation, have connected 11 of the world's leading astronomical observatories to Internet2 networks via the Mauna Kea Observatories Communication Network (MKOCN). With a capacity of 45 million bits per second, the new link will dramatically expand the capacity of astronomers around the world to remotely use telescopes located on the Hawaii mountaintop. The high-performance connection will allow the observatories to share more of their findings with the public through techniques such as virtual observatory tours and live video from Mauna Kea to museums, planetaria, and classrooms world-wide. The University of Hawaii at Hilo will be developing a new Mauna Kea Astronomy Education Center in its Research Park, which will utilize the high-performance connections to the observatories along with a planetarium, videoconferencing and instructional facilities.

82. British Astronomical Association : I&I Section : Review - Small Astronomical Obs Small Astronomical observatories is the latest title in Springer s Practical astronomy series edited by Patrick Moore, and like its companion volumes draws http://www.britastro.org/iandi/review06.htm

Review Small Astronomical Observatories Patrick Moore ( ed Springer-Verlag, 1996 - ISBN 3-650-19913-6 - pp.ix + 229 - DM 48 (paperback)] While many forms of astronomical observation can still be readily conducted with a minimum of setting up, the ongoing 'CCD revolution' has again brought to the fore the value and convenience of having telescopic and other equipment housed in a permanent observatory. Local light pollution need no longer necessarily be seen as an obstacle to observing, and around the world there must be many individuals and organisations contemplating the construction of observatories, even in urban locations. This volume is aimed at them. Small Astronomical Observatories is the latest title in Springer's 'Practical Astronomy' series edited by Patrick Moore, and like its companion volumes draws on the experience and expertise of several authors. Twenty-five articles describe, with varying levels of detail, observatories constructed by lone amateurs, schools and other educational bodies. There are clearly two main approaches to observatory building: the dome, and the run-off roof. The aesthete may plump for the elegance of the former, while the pragmatist will happily settle for the utility and comparative ease of construction of the latter. Nuggets of useful information abound - again reflecting the authors' wide experience. For instance, the use of a piece of old carpet on a concrete floor may save that dropped eyepiece, and serves to insulate the observer's feet from some of the cold. A gap between the floor and telescope mount reduces vibration. Eric Strach rotates the roof of his solar observatory on roller-skate wheels, while Terry Platt's dome runs on golf balls!

The University of Hawai`i and the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA), with support from the National Science Foundation, have connected eleven of the world's leading astronomical observatories to Internet2 networks via the Mauna Kea Observatories Communication Network (MKOCN). With a capacity of 45 million bits per second, the new link will dramatically expand the capacity of astronomers around the world to remotely use telescopes located on the Hawai`i mountaintop. The connection, which is nearly one thousand times faster than a typical modem, expands access to telescopes situated on Mauna Kea in a variety of ways.

Orbital Telescopes Since the early years of spaceflight, the advantages of astronomical observing above the Earth's atmosphere were recognized, and led to the introduction of astronomical instruments on spacecraft, i.e., astronomical observatories in space (in most cases, in Earth's orbit).

Amateur Astronomical Observatories Examples of small observatories that individual amateur astronomers have built for personal use. I started this list when doing research before building my own observatory . I got a lot of good ideas by looking at what others had done. Perhaps you will, too :-) Building a small observatory is not all that hard. A simple roll-off roof design can be built in a few days with simple tools and materials easily available in your local building supply store. A dome is much more complicated but still can be done with more careful planning. Or you can buy a kit. Hardcopy More Small Astronomical Observatories edited by Partick Moore.

The history of Astronomy in Wales: Introduction ... Wales today A STRONOMICAL O BSERVATORIES Introduction Some astronomical observatories have existed in Wales during the past two centuries. No major instutional observatories have been set up, but a few observatories of modest size were erected. Public and institutional observatories A few public and institutional observatories have been set up. These have included: The Cardiff City Observatory . A municipal observatory existed at Penylan, Cardiff, in the first half of the 20th century, with a 12-inch reflector donated to the city. The University of Wales Bangor had an observatory equipped with a six-inch refractor for a number of years from the 1920's. Private observatories Some observatories have been built by individuals. These have included the following: Nathaniel Pigott (d. 1804) and his son Edward Pigott (1753-1825) erected an observatory with a transit circle and a six-foot focal length achromatic refractor at their estate at Frampton in the Vale of Glamorgan in the 1770's. Robert Roberts (1777-1836) erected an observatory at his home in Holyhead in the 19th century. It was situated on a tower and, although nothing remains today, the structure has provided the name of the street where it once stood: Tower Gardens.
