    Ο χώρος παρατήρησης και κατασκηνωσης στον Πάρνωνα
    It would be nice if clubs and/or persons pooled money together and could find a great site for cheap and bought it. That way there would be no risk of the site being developed into something that would end up being counterproductive to astronomy-and us. Just a thought. -Fred

    Dimitri, This image of Gamma Cygnus came out exceptionally well. Now I'll make a copy to see how it looks as a b&w negative. I did that with your Veil mosaic, and yes, just a bit more detail became visible on that image-Yeah! -Fred

    that's a very well done mosaic that you have there Dimitri. I can see quite a bit of "red" in the internal structure of the nebula too. -Fred Ley

    Hello Sabbas, One other thing that one may want to keep a look out for is an ablation boundary. If a suspect meteorite is located, one should look for an ablation boundary. That is just one more clue to add to the list of items to check your suspect sample against. Ablation is defined as "The removal of material by heating and vaporization as a meteorite passes through Earth's atmosphere." It smooths out the side of the meteor that is oriented towards the atmosphere as it passes through it. I have a small stony-iron candidate, that I found many years ago, that has an ablation boundary on it along with the other atribute of being attracted to a magnet. It is not a complete meteorite and I was unable to locate additional pieces in the area. Clear Skies, Fred

    Vandenberg AFB Missile Launch
    These three images show a Minuteman II launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The launch date was July 7, 2000 at 2118 hrs. The "vertical" white line is the missile exhaust in the upper left image. The lower left image was taken with a 28mm lens and also shows the Moon in the upper left corner. Kind of gives you a scale for the event. The city lights are roughly 18 miles (29 kilometers) away from my home. Enjoy. -Fred

    Low Orbit
    This rendering is titled "Low Orbit". It is done in acrylic on stretched canvas. It is nice that one can travel to all sorts of interesting places via the paint brush and with a little imagination thrown in too. Enjoy. -Fred

    That's very odd. The link in my bookmarks displays exactly as thus... http://www.vipinfo.com/jonn/default.htm When I click on the bookmark, it tackes me straight to the site. Since computer can be temperamental at times, the olny other recourse would be to get on Google and type in "Jonn Serrie" and go from there. Let me know if you get there. -Fred

    For many years I have been listening to Jonn Serrie. He composes a lot a of nice instrumental music for planetariums and other events. There is a web site at www.vipinfo.com/jonn/default.html -Fred

    Big Bear Solar Observatory
    Here are a few photos that I took on May 30, 1993. The observatory is located an altitude of 6,750 feet (2,000 meters) on Big Bear Lake, California. The main instruments are a 26-inch (65cm) reflector, and three refractors -10-inch (25cm), 8-inch (20cm) and a 6-inch (15cm). The images are scanned from Kodachrome 64 slides. -Fred

    Lick Observatory 36-inch refractor
    Here is a photo that took in 1990 of the Lick Observatory 36-inch refractor (91 cm). The observatory is located on Mt. Hamilton to the east of San Jose, California. The lens was made by Alvan Clark & Sons of Cambridge, Massachusettes and Warner & Swasey of Cleveland, Ohio built the tube, mount and pier. It saw first light in 1888. The focal length of the objective is 674-inches (17,119.6mm) which makes it an F/18.72 system.

    Nick, In the early 1970's, the skies of Athens exhibited heavy light pollution but nothing close to the levels that we encounter today. It was amazing that I could pick out quite a few of the Messier objects back then. Of course if you take your telescope and look at M27 in a pristine dark sky location, perhaps you may already have, you will be blown away by the visual difference. There is an unlimited amount of objects to observe when one has dark skies-as we all know. I am glad that you were able to dig through the layers of light pollution and find your target. Like the advertisement states... "Its not a job, its an adventure". Clear Skies, Fred

    Hi George, Thanks. Yes, I did it some years ago. I enjoy painting astronomical themed things. The actual size is around 12x30 inches, if I recall correctly. I have all of my renderings in a box at the current time so I can't check. -Fred

    Dimitri, Remind me to show you a cd that I got from Jack Newton some years ago. On it, he has a small video clip of a comet, I forget which one, showing its movement against the background stars taken with a ccd camera. It is really impressive. There is no instructions on the cd for this procedure, just the end result. -Fredo
