    Extractions: Current Moon Phase I am a deep sky fanatic (a geek, as those who know me often say), especially galaxies and nebulae, but I also like to look at the planets and the Moon. I haven't really been too interested in comets, variable stars, etc. but try to keep an open mind as I may travel that path in the future. I've logged all of Messier's 110 (109), many from midtown Tucson, AZ using a 6" reflector and have completed a Messier Marathon using a 20" Obsession reflector. I had originally planned to capture images of all of the Messier objects using the 20" and an SBIG ST-237 CCD camera, but I never got around to that - mainly because I had a hard time not using the 20" for visual observing. Now, I no longer have the 20" Obsession, having sold it in order to purchase a 25" Obsession. I received the 25" primary from Galaxy Optics on January 7, 2003 and received the 25" Obsession telescope on January 8, 2003. I've been out viewing with the new scope every new moon since. If I have but one word to describe the 25" Obsession: Awesome. My goal for this website is to share my enthusiasm for amateur astronomy. I plan to

57. Prairie Astronomy Club: Amateur Astronomy
    amateur astronomy. By Dave Scherping Amateurs can make contributions to astronomy by obtaining data on positions and orbital periods of these systems.  
    http://www.prairieastronomyclub.org/amateurs.html
    
    Extractions: By: Dave Scherping I feel that part of my role as president is to help our members continue to grow and not lose interest in astronomy. As with most hobbies, if there's no variation or challenges, you may lose interest. One way to add variation and excitement is to get involved in one of the activities in which amateur astronomers can make contributions to science. Astronomy is unique among the sciences in that amateurs can and do play an important role. When was the last time you heard of an amateur chemist, biologist, or geologist making an important discovery? Sure, some amateurs dabble in these sciences but rarely do they contribute significant observations or discoveries. In astronomy, professionals are typically absorbed in teaching and conducting specialized research, and observing time at the major observatories is limited and not easy to come by. This leaves open numerous areas in which amateurs can contribute. Below are a few examples : Comet Hunting is the field that usually comes to mind when we think of amateur discoveries. Mankind has had an interest in comets since the ancient days, and devotion to comet discovery can be traced back many centuries. Since the invention of the telescope, many individuals have devoted entire lifetimes to being the first to observe a new comet. It's the one discovery that eternally carries the name of the discoverer. Comet hunting does indeed require dedication. Avid comet hunters are ready to go at dusk nearly every clear night of the year and are up then a couple of hours before dawn, searching the skies again. Some have searched for years with little success, while others have found several. All will tell you, the rewards are worth it.

59. Double Stars To Follow
    Where amateur astronomy Resides. The Oooohs and ahhhs I heard those children exclaim really make amateur astronomy something much more exciting than television.  
    http://www.prairieastronomyclub.org/kevn_ltr.htm
    
    Extractions: Back to the PAC Menu [This letter has been included in our web page because if the timeless nature of the thoughts that reside within it. (originally published in the Prairie Astronomer in December 1992)] I just got my new telescope no too long ago and am still discovering all sorts of things that I knew existed but also knew that I would never be able to see with only my binoculars at my disposal. When I first got my Celestron Special Edition Ultima 8 I was pretty guarded about the whole thing. Oh, I have a friend, also a member of the club whom I generally share my observations with. He has a Mead LX-6 10" SCT and we've been comparing sights between the two scopes. He pulls down a few more stars than I and can probably find a few more galaxies and planetaries than I, but for all intents and purposes, we can reach nearly the same objects to suit our amateur desires. Being members of a fairly good-sized and active club has helped our hobbies along marvelously. The people in our club are always helpful in providing assistance when some problem arises during a session, and all provide a unique form of friendship that one only finds when appreciating something as universal as amateur astronomy.
