It depicts an accurate sim- ulation of the night sky, including stars, constellations, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, all planets, the Sun, the Moon, comets and asteroids. You can see the sky as it appears from any location on Earth, on any date. The user interface is highly intuitive and flexible; the display can be panned and zoomed with the mouse, and you can easily identify objects, and track their motion across the sky. KStars includes many powerful features, yet the interface is clean and simple, and fun to use. The KStars Handbook Chapter 1 Introduction KStars lets you explore the night sky from the comfort of your computer chair. It provides an accurate graphical representation of the night sky for any date, from any location on Earth. The display includes 126,000 stars to 9th magni- tude (well below the naked-eye limit), 13,000 deep-sky objects (Messier, NGC, and IC catalogs), all planets, the Sun and Moon, hundreds of comets and as- teroids, the Milky Way, 88 constellations, and guide lines such as the celestial equator, the horizon and the ecliptic. However, KStars is more than a simple night-sky simulator. The display pro- vides a compelling interface to a number of tools with which you can learn more about astronomy and the night sky. There is a context-sensitive popup menu attached to each displayed object, which displays object-specific infor- mation and actions. Hundreds of objects provide links in their popup menus to informative web pages and beautiful images taken by the Hubble Space Tele- scope and other observatories. From an object’s popup menu, you can open its Detailed Information Window, where you can examine positional data about the object, and query a huge trea- sury of online databases for professional-grade astronomical data and litera- ture references about the object. You can even attach your own internet links, images and text notes, making KStars a graphical front-end to your observing logs and your personal astronomical notebook. Our Astrocalculator tool provides direct access to many of the algorithms the program uses behind the scenes, including coordinate converters and time cal- culators. The AAVSO Lightcurve Generator tool will download a.

  • Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 32 Bit!
    Welcome to Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 32 Bit! What is Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7? Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 is a full replacement for Microsoft©s Windows and Macintosh©s Mac OS for any Intel based PC. Of course we recommend you check the system requirements first to make sure your computer meets our standards. The 64 bit version of Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 works faster than the 32 bit version on a 64 bit PC however the 32 bit version has support for Frets On Fire and a few other 32 bit applications that won©t run on 64 bit. We have worked hard to make sure that you can justify using 64 bit without sacrificing too much compatibility. I would say that Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 64 bit is compatible with 99.9% of all the GNU/Linux applications out there that will work with Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 32 bit. Ultumix GNU/Linux 0.0.1.7 is based on Ubuntu 8.04 but includes KDE 3.5 as the default interface and has the Mac4Lin Gnome interface for Mac users. What is Different Than Windows and Mac? You see with Microsoft©s Windows OS you have to defragment your computer, use an anti-virus, and run chkdsk or a check disk manually or automatically once every 3 months in order to maintain a normal Microsoft Windows environment. With Macintosh©s Mac OS you don©t have to worry about fragmentation but you do have to worry about some viruses and you still should do a check disk on your system every once in a while or whatever is equivalent to that in Microsoft©s Windows OS.

  • Using Emerge for Kstars on OS X Revised
    Instructions for Installing KStars, Dependencies, and related software on OS X with Emerge with the intent of creating an App bundle 1. Make sure you have home-brew installed. brew.sh 2. Make sure that you have git, make, and cmake installed. 3. Install some dependencies using homebrew brew install cmake wget coreutils p7zip gettext ninja python3 ninja bison boost shared-mime-info 4. And some more: brew tap homebrew/science brew install pkgconfig brew install cfitsio brew install cmake brew install eigen brew install astrometry-net brew install xplanet (optional) 5. here If you do not already have qt 5 installed, then you will need it. By the way, this can take a very long time. You can also download QT5 from their website to your home directory. I did this with QT Creator and just specified the path to it. But it should also work with the homebrew version. brew install qt5 --with-dbus To download QT5 from their website, you can go here: www.qt.io/download-open-source/ 6. I followed these instructions to build INDI from source and get it installed on the Mac in the proper location, but since then we have found that it is much easier to install using homebrew dependencies which we put (and you already did) in step 3: indilib.org/forum/general/210-howto-buil...st-libindi-ekos.html Do this at the command line: mkdir ~/Projects cd ~/Projects git clone git://github.com/indilib/indi.git Edit the file CMakeLists.txt in libindi to add the two base.64.c additions and lilxml.c additions (We have to get them to change this in Libindi so we don't

  • The Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuation Distances to the Hydra
    The Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuation Distances to the Hydra and Coma Clusters 1 Joseph B. Jensen John L. Tonry and Gerard A. Luppino Institute for Astronomy, UniversityofHawaii 2680 Woodlawn Drive, Honolulu, HI 96822 e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT We present IR surface brightness uctuation (SBF) distance measurements to NGC 4889 in the Coma cluster and to NGC 3309 and NGC 3311 in the Hydra cluster. We explicitly corrected for the contributions to the uctuations from globular clusters, background galaxies, and residual background variance. We measured a distance of 85 10 Mp c to NGC 4889 and a distance of 46 5 Mp c to the Hydra cluster. 1 1 Adopting recession velo cities of 7186 428 km s for Coma and 4054 296 km s 1 1 for Hydra gives a mean Hubble constantofH =87 11km s Mp c . Corrections 0 for residual variances were a signi cant fraction of the SBF signal measured, and, if underestimated, would bias our measurementtowards smaller distances and larger values of H . Both NICMOS on the Hubble Space Telescop e and large-ap erture 0 ground-based telescop es with new IR detectors will make accurate SBF distance measurements p ossible to 100 Mp c and b eyond.

  • Binocular Challenges
    This page intentionally left blank Cosmic Challenge Listing more than 500 sky targets, both near and far, in 187 challenges, this observing guide will test novice astronomers and advanced veterans alike. Its unique mix of Solar System and deep-sky targets will have observers hunting for the Apollo lunar landing sites, searching for satellites orbiting the outermost planets, and exploring hundreds of star clusters, nebulae, distant galaxies, and quasars. Each target object is accompanied by a rating indicating how difficult the object is to find, an in-depth visual description, an illustration showing how the object realistically looks, and a detailed finder chart to help you find each challenge quickly and effectively. The guide introduces objects often overlooked in other observing guides and features targets visible in a variety of conditions, from the inner city to the dark countryside. Challenges are provided for viewing by the naked eye, through binoculars, to the largest backyard telescopes. Philip S. Harrington is the author of eight previous books for the amateur astronomer, including Touring the Universe through Binoculars, Star Ware, and Star Watch. He is also a contributing editor for Astronomy magazine, where he has authored the magazine’s monthly “Binocular Universe” column and “Phil Harrington’s Challenge Objects,” a quarterly online column on Astronomy.com. He is an Adjunct Professor at Dowling College and Suffolk County Community College, New York, where he teaches courses in stellar and planetary astronomy.
