24. 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.

A faint 3.8 GHz drifting continuous wave (CW) narrow band signal is visible below. Although this signal was of terrestrial origin (you are looking at the 30th harmonic of an ovenized 128 MHz TTL oscillator soldered to a resistor lead, mounted two yards BEHIND the dish for high attenuation, mixed with actual sky signal at RA 19:46:05 DEC +40 43), we are searching for real signals that have a similar drifting CW characteristic due to possible doppler shift. The horizontal axis of this display block corresponds to 600 channels (1 Hz per channel), and the vertical axis represents time (240 lines at 2 seconds per line). The slope of this signal is approximately + 3 Hz per second, with an inflection reversing to - 3 Hz per second. Unlike this test signal, a real extraterrestial source would be expected to maintain a constant slope. BAMBI Sites: SITE A: California. SITE B: Colorado.

35. Transitsearch.org The purpose of transitsearch.org is to coordinate and direct a cooperative observational effort which will allow experienced amateur astronomers and small college observatories to discover transiting extrasolar planets. http://www.transitsearch.org/index.htm

The discover y since 1995 of more than a hundred planets orbiting nearby solar-like stars and the discovery of a transiting planet orbiting the star HD209458 has heralded a new era in astronomy. Furthermore, the past several years have seen the introduction of highly affordable small telescopes equipped with sensitive and stable CCD (charge coupled device) detectors, and controlled by laptop computers. A large number of amateur astronomers and small colleges own observatories which, when properly configured, are capable of reliably detecting the periodic dimming which occurs when a close-in giant planet passes in front of the parent star as seen from Earth. Click here to see how this technique was used to detect the transit of HD209458b Our goal is to coordinate and direct a cooperative observational effort which will allow experienced amateur astronomers and small college observatories to discover transiting extrasolar planets. In order to utilize the advantages of a network of small telescopes most effectively, we are adopting the strategy of observing known planet-bearing stars at the dates and times when transits are expected to occur. At present, all but one of the confirmed extrasolar planets orbiting sun-like stars in the galactic neighborhood have been discovered using the Doppler radial velocity technique (see www.exoplanets.org

SEARCH: Hubble Space Telescope advertisement Partial Eclipse Impresses Astronomers - Amateur and Otherwise - From California to Indonesia By Lisa J. Adams Associated Press posted: 11:42 am ET 11 June 2002 With the sun still high in the sky, the dark shadow of the moon took a small bite out of its lower half, than began creeping slowly over the rest of the glowing yellow orb. An hour later all that remained was a small sliver of white light that looked like a fingernail or an upside crescent. The most impressive part of the eclipse lasted about 10 minutes and then the moon began to slowly slide away. The sun set under dramatic pink and orange clouds about 15 minutes later. Tourists and beach vendors stood next to restaurant employees and locals, all staring up at the sky. At Billygan's bar and restaurant, people set down their drinks and walked to the ocean's edge with their heads turned skyward. Many covered their eyes with foldable cardboard glasses fitted with lenses of dark film that hundreds of shops and vendors sold especially for the event. Images A partial eclipse of the sun silhouettes the towers and steeples of the Conception Abbey in Conception, Mo., Monday, June 10, 2002. Earlier in the day, the abbey was the scene of a shooting spree that left two Benedictine monks dead and two others woundedbefore the shooter killed himself. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)

Amateur Astronomers To Put Telescope On International Space Station amateur astronomers may have a window seat waiting for them on the InternationalSpace Station, though they won’t have to leave Earth to see the view. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/astronomy/amateur_telescope_020201.html

SEARCH: Hubble Space Telescope advertisement Amateur Astronomers to Put Telescope on International Space Station By Tariq Malik Staff Writer posted: 09:10 am ET 01 February 2002 Amateur astronomers may have a window seat waiting for them on the International Space Station, though they won’t have to leave Earth to see the view. A group of U.S. stargazers plan to mount an optical telescope on the International Space Station, connect it to the Internet and give amateur astronomers their first foothold in outer space. A land-based prototype for the system, dubbed the International Space Station – Amateur Telescope, will be unveiled Saturday at Winer Observatory near Tucson, Arizona. The test telescope will be remote-controlled from Vanderbilt University’s Dyer Observatory in Tennessee, where, space images and observations will be archived and distributed to the Internet for all to see. But far from being a mere image archive for space enthusiasts, the system is meant also to provide armchair astronomers with their first space-based tool for observing the sky. Some observations, project organizers said, could even be made live, though reservations for telescope time will certainly have to be made in advance. Images The logo for the International Space Station - Amateur Telescope, or ISS-AT, organized the Astronomical League in the United States. The project is aimed at installing the first telescope aboard the space station specifically for the use of amateur astronomers via the Internet. Click to enlarge.
