The Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association is a group of people that want to share their interest in the sky. General meetings are held monthly, and frequent observing sessions are scheduled at dark sites. Our members vary in expertise from beginner to professional. Venus Transit 2004 Web Site
(watch the transit live on the web)
Don't feel that you need to own a telescope to belong to the TAAA! Many members attend observing sessions to get a feel for the kind of telescope they may someday like to buy or make. Some members have little interest in observing, but enjoy the monthly lectures. A growing number are using computers to learn about the night sky. There are those who try their hand at astrophotography or telescope making. Our public star parties help introduce the glory of the night sky to school kids and the general public. The TAAA makes Astronomy fun for everyone. Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association contact us at...

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 Slender Moon
    Posted: May 21, 2004 A slender Moon below Venus was photographed by Mike Gondek on the evening of May 20. "Unfortunately," Mike reports, "a thick cloud bank moved in from the west before the sky got dark enough to capture the Earth's reflection illuminating the dark side of the moon." Watch over the course of the next few nights as the Moon rises into the western sky and joins the evening planets.

    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

    Dubai Amateur Astronomers is for UAE residents who own telescopes and offers basic information about the hobby and science.
    http://www.elysianfields.org.uk/astro/
    Astronomy in Dubai
    You've reached the one stop for amateur astronomers in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates. Introductions first. I'm Samson David, 26 years old and finally pursuing the hobby I have always dreamed about. I've had a fascination with the stars ever since I was a child and always wondered about the millions of distant suns that shine over us each and every night. I have just purchased my telescope over the internet. It is a Russian TAL 200K telescope. Now all I am waiting for is clear skies and cooler weather. If you live in Dubai, or the UAE and are an amateur like me, do drop me a line and we can exchange what little we know in hopes of better understanding our new hobby. If you are a professional, please help this newcomer understand what he is supposed to be doing. As I get better at what I do, I am going to start putting up pictures, and a whole bunch of information for astronomers in Dubai. Did you know that there are virtually millions of stars that you can see up to magnitude -13..? WellI never knew that till I got my telescope. The prices of scopes here are quite expensive. However, there are ways to get them cheaper. Trust me.. I've searched for the better part of two years for the perfect scope. Finally, if you are reading this and are even slightly interested in Astronomy, do take a minute to join the Dubai Astro group at Topica. It used to be hosted on Yahoo, but I changed that due to some email problems and lots of spam. There's a link below.

    This Website is about viewing the Universe using the new technologies available to amateur astronomers. The wonders of the Cosmos are now readily available to everyone. The world of amateur astronomy has undergone revolutionary changes in the last decade. New technologies now allow the amateur astronomer, using a modest telescope and readily available equipment, to view the Universe with the detail and clarity of the world's largest professional telescopes of only a decade ago. These new technological developments include the charged coupled device ( CCD ), desktop personal computers, powerful software, and the Internet. With these new technologies, the amateur astronomer can make serious contributions to the science of astronomy through supernova and asteroid research
