Watch this Space for November 2013 Moon Phase for November 2013 Planet Watch The Planets on view for November are: New Moon First Quarter 3 / 11 / 13 10 / 11 / 13 Mercury: rises in the morning sky at Mag -0.5 Venus: sets around 3 hours after sunset Full Moon Last Quarter Mars: rises at 1am at Mag +1.4 17 / 11 / 13 25 / 11 / 13 Jupiter: rises about 7.30pm in Gemini at Mag -2.3 Saturn: not visible this month. The Sun Uranus: at Mag +5.8 in Pisces sets around 3am : at Mag +7.9 in Aquarius sets at 11.30pm Rises: 7.20am 15th October, Sets: 16.17 Neptune Constellation of the Month Cepheus—King of Ethiopia A faint northern constellation, found between Cassiopeia, Deneb and Polaris. α and Cassiopiae point to its brightest star Alderamin, α Cephei. In Greek mythology Cepheus and Cassiopeia were the parents of Andromeda, immortal- ised in the legend involving Perseus, Pegasus and the sea monster Cetus, a story much mangled in some films! Image Credit: Torsten Bronger Notable stars: Cephei – Triple star. Variable blue giant, prototype of its class has a very close (0.25”) companion. Also a mag 8 star 13” away. Beta Cephei variables have a small magnitude ranges and short periods. Cephei – The star after which the class of pulsating variable stars used to first meas- ure the distance of galaxies was named. Known as “standard candles”. Also a fine double star easily split in binoculars. Yellow and blue, separation 40”. Cephei – Named “The Garnet Star” by Herschel, a variable supergiant and one of the reddest stars in the sky. VV Cephei – Supergiant eclipsing variable. Period 20.4yr, next eclipse starts in 2017, mid-eclipse in April 2018. Some Interesting Objects: NGC 188 (C1) : Open cluster NGC 40 (C2) : Faint planetary, the “Bowtie Nebula” NGC 6946 (C12) : Spiral, the “Fireworks Galaxy” NGC 7380 : Cluster + the “Wizard Nebula” NGC 7023 (C4) : The “Iris Nebula” IC1396 : Large area of nebulosity including the “Elephant’s Trunk” There are no Messier objects in Cepheus. Lunar Feature of the month Smirnov Dorsa When it comes to lunar observation one of the great intrigues is closely following the bends and kinks from the numerous Dorsa and Rimae that litter the lunar surface. Dorsa Smirnov is a wrinkle ridge system, a fea- ture connected to tectonic activity when lava started to cool down and contract. Smirnov runs for 156 kms and can be found in the Mare Serenitatis and is easily located. Find the large crater Posidonius and Dorsa Smirnov is located next to the crater running in a North to South Direction. Smirnov Dorsa by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera. Photo by NASA The Sun in November There has been a little more activity of late on the Sun. The aver- age sunspot number since the equinox is 66. Most spots have been quiet but spots 1861 and 1865, imaged on October 12, have magnetic fields which harbour the energy for X class flares. X class flares are the most energetic category and potentially can produce good auroral displays at northern latitudes On September 23, in Norway, compass needles swung 1o away from normal when a local geomagnetic storm occurred over the northern part of the country. Rob Stammes recorded it at the Polarlightcenter in Lofoten. Strong auroras were also seen. The display might be related to the approach of a solar wind stream emanating from a coro- nal hole which opened up on September 21. The wind was predicted to reach Earth on September 23/24.

  • Filter Performance Comparisons for Some Common Nebulae

    Filter Performance Comparisons for Some Common Nebulae

    Filter Performance Comparisons For Some Common Nebulae By Dave Knisely Light Pollution and various “nebula” filters have been around since the late 1970’s, and amateurs have been using them ever since to bring out detail (and even some objects) which were difficult to impossible to see before in modest apertures. When I started using them in the early 1980’s, specific information about which filter might work on a given object (or even whether certain filters were useful at all) was often hard to come by. Even those accounts that were available often had incomplete or inaccurate information. Getting some observational experience with the Lumicon line of filters helped, but there were still some unanswered questions. I wondered how the various filters would rank on- average against each other for a large number of objects, and whether there was a “best overall” filter. In particular, I also wondered if the much-maligned H-Beta filter was useful on more objects than the two or three targets most often mentioned in publications. In the summer of 1999, I decided to begin some more comprehensive observations to try and answer these questions and determine how to best use these filters overall. I formulated a basic survey covering a moderate number of emission and planetary nebulae to obtain some statistics on filter performance to try to address the following questions: 1. How do the various filter types compare as to what (on average) they show on a given nebula? 2. Is there one overall “best” nebula filter which will work on the largest number of objects? 3.

In one myth, Orion boasted he would kill all the wild animals on the earth. But, the earth goddess Gaia, who was the protector of all animals, produced a gigantic scorpion, whose body was so heavily encased that Orion was unable to pierce through the armour, and was himself stung to death. His companion Artemis was greatly saddened and arranged for Orion to be immortalised among the stars. Scorpius, the scorpion, was placed on the opposite side of the sky so that Orion would never be hurt by it again. To this day, Orion is never seen in the sky at the same time as Scorpius.

Pointers Is Dubhe Dubhe yellowish compared to Merak? 1 Merak THE PLOUGH Figure 1: Sketch of the northern sky in autumn. © Rob Peeling, CaDAS, 2007 version 1.2 Wynyard Planetarium & Observatory PUBLIC OBSERVING – Autumn North 1. On leaving the planetarium, turn around and look northwards over the roof of the building. Close to the horizon is a group of stars like the outline of a saucepan with the handle stretching to your left. This is the Plough (also called the Big Dipper) and is part of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. The two right-hand stars are called the Pointers. Can you tell that the higher of the two, Dubhe is slightly yellowish compared to the lower, Merak? Check with binoculars. Not all stars are white. The colour shows that Dubhe is cooler than Merak in the same way that red-hot is cooler than white- hot. 2. Use the Pointers to guide you upwards to the next bright star. This is Polaris, the Pole (or North) Star. Note that it is not the brightest star in the sky, a common misconception. Below and to the left are two prominent but fainter stars. These are Kochab and Pherkad, the Guardians of the Pole. Look carefully and you will notice that Kochab is slightly orange when compared to Polaris.

    August 2012 of You Know I Went to the Astronomical League Conference (Alcon) in Chicago at the Beginning of July with My Grandmother

    BACKBACK BAYBAY observerobserver The Official Newsletter of the Back Bay Amateur Astronomers P.O. Box 9877, Virginia Beach, VA 23450-9877 Looking Up! Hello again! This month I actually have a story EPHEMERALS to tell, instead of just random ramblings. As most august 2012 of you know I went to the Astronomical League Conference (ALCon) in Chicago at the beginning of July with my grandmother. It was great. Not quite 08/24, 7:00 pm as good as last year, seeing as I had to pay for it Night Hike and they didn’t give me a check and a plaque this Northwest River Park year (last year I won the Horkheimer Youth award, which paid for my trip), but it was still a lot of fun, and very educational. I met a lot of cool 08/24, 8:00 pm people and definitely learned something. The Garden Stars whole trip was a big story, but a few events stand Norfolk Botanical Gardens out the most in my memory, and they’re all connected to some extent. 08/28, 7:00 pm Boardwalk Astronomy It all started on the day we got there. ALCon is Near 24th St Stage an annual four day conference usually in the VA Beach Oceanfront beginning of July. This year, the day we got there was July fourth. After checking in, taking a nap and 09/06, 7:30 pm dining, we decided to participate in the observing BBAA Monthly Meeting event outside the hotel. It was in a parking lot with lights, and fireworks, but there was a large moon TCC Campus and Saturn was up, so we went for it.

    Interstellar Extinction in the Direction of Young Open Star Clusters

    ISSN (Online) 2393-8021 ISSN (Print) 2394-1588 IARJSET International Advanced Research Journal in Science, Engineering and Technology Vol. 6, Issue 5, May 2019 Interstellar Extinction in the Direction of Young Open Star Clusters Alok K. Durgapal* Center of Advanced Study, Department of Physics, D. S. B. Campus, Kumaun University Nainital, India Abstract: The total to selective extinction law in optical and near-IR wavelengths for twenty young open star clusters namely Berkeley 7, Collinder 69, Hogg 10, NGC 2362, Czernik 43, NGC 6530, NGC 6871, Bochum 10, Haffner 18, IC 4996, NGC 2384, NGC 6193, NGC 6618, NGC 7160, Collinder 232, Haffner 19, NGC 2401, NGC 6231, NGC 6823, NGC 7380 have been studied. It is found that fifteen clusters follow normal extinction law and five clusters show an anomalous behavior. Keywords: Star cluster: Reddening, interstellar dust- Interstellar extinction I. INTRODUCTION The interstellar dust which is remnant of star formation process can transmit and redirect the light of stars ([2]). As a result it becomes very difficult to determine accurate distances and magnitudes of astronomical objects ([11]); to overcome this difficulty we must have knowledge of composition of interstellar dust in every line of sight. The interstellar extinction is caused either by general interstellar medium (ISM) or by localized region of higher mean density ([9], [15]). Study of interstellar extinction provides information about components of the molecular cloud from which a star was formed. Young stars contain dust around them so young open star clusters are the ideal objects for extinction study ([5], [8], [10], [16], [17]). First started with Trumpler in 1920 and then many investigators studied extinction in the Galaxy.
