People's Astronomy: November 2011
http://pchris00pnc.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Stories about astronomy and people. Thursday, November 17, 2011. Solar Filter Project, November 15, 2011. Never Look at the Sun Through a Telescope Without a Proper Solar Filter. When my Astrozap solar filter. At this point, I still hadn’t cut the film. I wasn’t committed to anything. I could wait and find something better, or I could cut, and live with it. I cut. I should. Note: I did have to re-glue everything Wednesday. I don't know if I didn't use enough glue the first time, if it was the cold we...

People's Astronomy: Mare Orientale, Finally
http://pchris00pnc.blogspot.com/2015/02/mare-orientale-finally.html
Stories about astronomy and people. Thursday, February 19, 2015. Mare Orientale, Finally. My previous post was about observing the the celestial western limb. Of our Moon with both favorable libration and illumination. I haven't been as lucky with the celestial eastern limb. Twice this year so far, in January and February, I've managed to observe Mare Orientale with favorable librations. Visually, I was very pleased with the view, although I didn't manage to improve much upon my images from last month.

People's Astronomy: December 2014
http://pchris00pnc.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Stories about astronomy and people. Friday, December 26, 2014. My Best Look Ever at the Celestial Western Lunar Limb. How many times have we heard or read that the half Moon is the best time for lunar observing? I observed over the course of many hours, and watched as features near the terminator disappeared into lunar night. While atmospheric transparency was never great that night, toward the end of the observation it was terrible, and water vapor in the air started turning the images very soft. As usu...

People's Astronomy: October 2011
http://pchris00pnc.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Stories about astronomy and people. Monday, October 31, 2011. Io Transit, Ganymede Occultation, October 27-28, 2011. To get the best images I could, I used the 16” LX200 at Conway Observatory. I used my own 25mm 1.25” eyepiece with a 2x Barlow lens, because that particular eyepiece is easiest to use with my point and shoot camera. For most of the images I used a yellow filter (I think #12? To reduce the glare from Jupiter, without dimming Io and Ganymede too much. Curt's predicted events times. Io Transi...

People's Astronomy: November 2014

Stories about astronomy and people. Sunday, November 16, 2014. Sun Pillar, July 5, 2014. I didn't have much time for observing this summer, let alone going through any data and processing for web publishing, so now that I have a little more free time, I'm trying to go back and post some interesting observations from months ago. Bear with me, please. On July 4, Bill, Javier, and I spent the night observing at Conway Observatory, tracking down the historic close conjunction of asteroids 1 Ceres and 4 Vesta.
