Serving amateur astronomy since 1983 Home Information Events Bulletin Board Latest Weather Update : According to Joe Rao, An upper-level low pressure system over the Sierra Nevadas and a strengthening "Bermuda High" out over the Atlantic Ocean are giving the computer models a tough time in trying to properly forecast Tuesday's weather. "By Transit Time on Tuesday, the front may stretch from about Rochester, NY southeast to about to White Plains, NY. But there could be a variation of perhaps a hundred miles or more either north or south of this projected position. If the front ends up directly over or just south of your neighborhood, I wouldn't give much more than a 30% of a view of the Sun on Tuesday morning. If it is to the north of you, then perhaps you'd have up to 50 or 60% chance of some visibility, and that would probably be an orange or red Sun through haze (maybe you won't need that Mylar or welder's glass after all?).

Light Pollution
The Bane of Astronomers (Amateur and Professional)
The view almost all of us had from home only 25 - 50 years ago... and what the vast majority of Americans now see from their backyard. These photos show approximately the same area of the sky; one was taken from a dark sky site and one was taken from outside a small city (Springfield, MA).
New Feature!
Click the above graphic to see some of the best and worst examples of lighting in Wilbraham MA.
Introduction
Light Pollution is a serious problem for most amateur astronomers today (see the pictures just above). The picture on the left was taken at a dark sky location (Colebrook, CT USA); the photo on the right was taken from Wilbraham MA USA looking towards Springfield, MA (A city of about 250,000 people). The light pollution in the Springfield MA area is very bad (and Springfield is considered a small city by most people). Unless you live way worse visibility because of the excessive glare they produce. Everyone can benefit from improved lighting; lower tax bills, less air pollution, improved visibility and more. It is in the best interest of everyone to reduce light pollution!

However, amateurs can find many of the ADC's catalogs useful for their hobby. This page includes information on using ADC resources for amateur astronomy and links to selected external resources that may be of interest.

What type of stuff can I find here?
The Astronomical Data Center specializes in archiving and distributing collections of data that have been published by professional astronomers. Most of these data sets are in the form of computer-readable tables of numbers, rather than images. Amateur astronomers can find these data collections useful in looking up the properties and locations of celestial objects. This can help amateurs plan for observing sessions, and help them to better understand what they've observed. Please see our

Introduction
Welcome to the Amateur Astronomer's Notebook! This site is the result of a joint effort by two amateur astronomers, Joe Roberts and Peter Chapin. Here you will find information on a variety of topics that may be of interest to both casual star watchers as well as experienced amateurs. Below is a list of topics available for your inspection. We hope that you will find this site useful!

  • Joe Roberts Astrophotography . A chronicle of my activities in astrophotography (includes both film and CCD images). Over 200 amateur astrophotos for your perusal! All photos in this gallery are original pictures taken by Joe Roberts.
Information For Observers
  • Naked Eye Observing . Many people believe that a telescope is required to participate in amateur astronomy. However, that's not true. A lot of very interesting observing can be done without any optical aid at all particularly if you have dark skies.
  • Advice for first time telescope buyers . Are you thinking of getting into Astronomy? Here is some advice about what to look for and what to avoid.
  • Equipment Reviews . My personal reviews of selected astronomical equipment.
  • Software Reviews . My comments on selected astronomical software packages.
  • Keeping warm at the telescope . Here is some advice on ways to stay warm while enjoying the clear winter skies.
  • Astrophotography for Beginners . Here are some hints on getting started with taking pictures of the sky. You might be surprised at how little specialized equipment is necessary! However, astrophotography does present some special problems that regular photography doesn't.

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.
