  • Messier Objects
    Messier Objects From the Stocker Astroscience Center at Florida International University Miami Florida The Messier Project Main contributors: • Daniel Puentes • Steven Revesz • Bobby Martinez Charles Messier • Gabriel Salazar • Riya Gandhi • Dr. James Webb – Director, Stocker Astroscience center • All images reduced and combined using MIRA image processing software. (Mirametrics) What are Messier Objects? • Messier objects are a list of astronomical sources compiled by Charles Messier, an 18th and early 19th century astronomer. He created a list of distracting objects to avoid while comet hunting. This list now contains over 110 objects, many of which are the most famous astronomical bodies known. The list contains planetary nebula, star clusters, and other galaxies. - Bobby Martinez The Telescope The telescope used to take these images is an Astronomical Consultants and Equipment (ACE) 24- inch (0.61-meter) Ritchey-Chretien reflecting telescope. It has a focal ratio of F6.2 and is supported on a structure independent of the building that houses it. It is equipped with a Finger Lakes 1kx1k CCD camera cooled to -30o C at the Cassegrain focus. It is equipped with dual filter wheels, the first containing UBVRI scientific filters and the second RGBL color filters. Messier 1 Found 6,500 light years away in the constellation of Taurus, the Crab Nebula (known as M1) is a supernova remnant. The original supernova that formed the crab nebula was observed by Chinese, Japanese and Arab astronomers in 1054 AD as an incredibly bright “Guest star” which was visible for over twenty-two months. The supernova that produced the Crab Nebula is thought to have been an evolved star roughly ten times more massive than the Sun.

Not one star in the image can be seen by the naked eye. 4. Color of star reflects its surface temperature. Eagle Nebula. M 16 1. Messier 16 is a conspicuous region of active star formation, appearing in the constellation Serpens Cauda. This giant cloud of interstellar gas and dust is commonly known as the Eagle Nebula, and has already created a cluster of young stars. The nebula is also referred to the Star Queen Nebula and as IC 4703; the cluster is NGC 6611. With an overall visual magnitude of 6.4, and an apparent diameter of 7', the Eagle Nebula's star cluster is best seen with low power telescopes. The brightest star in the cluster has an apparent magnitude of +8.24, easily visible with good binoculars. A 4" scope reveals about 20 stars in an uneven background of fainter stars and nebulosity; three nebulous concentrations can be glimpsed under good conditions. Under very good conditions, suggestions of dark obscuring matter can be seen to the north of the cluster. In an 8" telescope at low power, M 16 is an impressive object. The nebula extends much farther out, to a diameter of over 30'. It is filled with dark regions and globules, including a peculiar dark column and a luminous rim around the cluster.

  • Astronomy in the Park 2014 Schedule
    Astronomy in the Park 2014 Schedule Members of the Stockton Astronomical Society will volunteer to setup their telescopes for the public at S.J. County Oak Grove Regional Park on the first Saturday after the New Moon. During the months of April through October the Nature Center will also be open with indoor astronomy activities. If the sky is cloudy or there is bad weather the telescopes may not be available. During the months of November through March the Nature Center will not be open. Also, if the sky is not clear the event may be canceled and we will try again the next month. • S.J. County charges a Parking Fee of $6.00 per vehicle but the Nature Center and telescope viewing is free. • SAS volunteers can contact James Rexroth for free parking passes. • Indoor astronomy themed activities for kids (both big & small) will be in the Nature Center. • Telescope viewing starts after Sunset, the Moon will be visible in the telescopes from the start. As the sky darkens more objects become visible. Darker and clearer sky is better for viewing. • Every month we will feature a different deep sky object. We will point one of our large telescopes at this object during the last hour of the evening. These objects are dim and fuzzy and are best seen in large aperture telescopes. • To view objects it may be necessary to stand on a ladder or step stool that will be next to the telescope. For more information call: James Rexroth S.J. County Oak Grove Regional Park (Nature Center) (209) 953-8814 Doug Christensen Stockton Astronomical Society (209) 462-0798

  • Introduction No. 104 July 2020
    No. 104 July 2020 Introduction I hope you are in good health as July’s Binocular Sky Newsletter reaches you. Although it is primarily targeted at binocular (and small telescope) observers in the UK, this particular community extends well south of the Equator. So welcome! Astronomical darkness, albeit short, return for locations south of about 53.5°N this month and, as binocular observers with our combination of maximum portability and minimal set-up time, we are well suited to take advantage of what this darkness reveals. I hesitate to write this, given recent history of our dashed expectations of “promising” comets, but we have another one, C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE). It’s visible in SOHO images and might just live up to expectations. (But it might not!) The binocular planets, Uranus and Neptune are becoming visible in the pre-dawn sky, as is Ceres but the short darkness means that there is only one suitable lunar occultations of a star, a dark-limb reappearance. If you would like to receive the newsletter automatically each month, please complete and submit the subscription form. You can get “between the newsletters” alerts, etc. via and . Binocular Sky Newsletter – July 2020 The Deep Sky (Hyperlinks will take you to finder charts and more information on the objects.) The all-sky chart on the next page reveals a lot about the structure of the Milky Way galaxy. Running in a strip down the middle, coinciding with the Milky Way itself, is the orange band of open clusters. Here, we are looking along the plane of the spiral arms which, of course, is where the star-forming (and, hence, open cluster forming) regions are.

  • Summer Sp Target Information
    SUMMER SP TARGET INFORMATION ALGIEBA (g LEO) BASIC INFORMATION OBJECT TYPE: Binary Star CONSTELLATION: Leo BEST VIEW: Late April DISCOVERY: Known to Ancients DISTANCE: 131 ly BINARY SEPARATION: 4” (170 AU) ORBITAL PERIOD: ~500 yr. APPARENT MAGNITUDE: 1.98 DISTANCE DETERMINATION After measuring the shift in position of the star relative to background stars as Earth orbits the Sun, simple trigonometry can yield the distance. The Hipparcos satellite was launched in 1989 to create a comprehensive catalog of trigonometric parallax measurements from space. The distance quoted above is from this catalog. NOTABLE FEATURES/FACTS • William Herschel discovered Algieba’s binary nature in 1782. • Both components of Algieba have evolved beyond the main sequence. They began their lives as B-type stars, and they will end their lives as white dwarfs. • In 2010, a team including former UT astronomer Arte Hatzes discovered a planet orbiting Algieba A. The planet is nine times the mass of Jupiter and orbits the star in 1.2 years at an average distance of 1.2 AU. SUMMER SP TARGET INFORMATION MESSIER 97 (THE OWL NEBULA) BASIC INFORMATION OBJECT TYPE: Planetary Nebula CONSTELLATION: Ursa Major BEST VIEW: Early May DISCOVERY: Pierre Mechain, 1781 DISTANCE: ~2000 ly DIAMETER: 1.8 ly APPARENT MAGNITUDE: +9.9 APPARENT DIMENSIONS: 3.3’ DISTANCE DETERMINATION The distances to most planetary nebulae are very poorly known. A variety of methods can be used, providing mixed results. In many cases, astronomers resort to statistical methods to estimate the distances to planetary nebulae. Although we don’t have accurate distances for most of the planetary nebulae in the Milky Way, we do know exactly how far away the Large Magellanic Cloud is.
