  • Appendix 1: Telescope Limiting-Magnitude and Resolution
    Appendix 1: Telescope Limiting-Magnitude and Resolution Listed below are limiting-magnitudes and resolution values for a variety of common-sized ( SIZE in inches) backyard telescopes in use today, ranging from 2- to 14-in. in aperture. (The 2.4-in. entry is the ubiquitous 60 mm refractor, of which there are perhaps more than any other telescope in the world!) Values for the minimum visual magnitude ( MAG .) listed here are for single stars and are only very approximate, since experienced keen-eyed observers may see as much as a full magnitude fainter under excellent sky conditions. Companions to visual double stars—especially those in close proximity to a bright primary—are typically much more dif fi cult to see than is a star of the same magnitude placed alone in the eye- piece fi eld. Among the many variables involved are light pollution, sky conditions, optical quality, mirror and lens coatings, eyepiece design, obstructed or unob- structed optical system, color (spectral type) of the star, and even the age of the observer. Only a few representative limiting magnitudes are given here (in incre- ments of increasing aperture), as an indication of what an observer might typically expect to see in various sized telescopes. Three different values in arc-seconds are listed for resolution, which are for two stars of equal brightness and of about the sixth magnitude. These fi gures differ signi fi cantly for brighter, fainter and, espe- cially, unequal pairs. DAWES is the value based on Dawes’ Limit ( R = 4.56/A), RAYLEIGH on the Rayleigh Criterion ( R = 5.5/D), and MARKOWITZ on Markowitz’s Limit ( R = 6.0/D).

El Dr. Lavagnino manifestó siempre un profundo inte­ rés por las actividades de esta Asociación, que lo contara entre sus más antiguos socios. Esa inclinación lo llevó a ser editor de nuestro Boletín en varias ocasiones, ya que consi­ deraba que defender y mejorar este Boletín —o su muy año­ rada revista— era, desde su profesión, una de las formas de lograr un beneficio para todos sus colegas que así pueden tener a su alcance un medio natural, seguro y de jerarquía para la publicación de sus trabajos. Si bien la adversidad lo acosó con insistencia en sus últimos tiempos, sobrepuso su entereza e iluminó con tra­ bajo tan oscuros momentos.

  • 250+ Deep-Sky Objects Visible with 7X35 Binoculars and the Naked-Eye
    6726 1 Scott N. Harrington 2nd edition September, 2018 2 To my family, Who were always understanding of my excursions under the stars. To the late Jack Horkheimer, a.k.a. Star Gazer, Whose television show kept this young astronomer inspired during those crucial first years. I’ll never stop “looking up”. And in memory of my dog Nell, who kept me company many long evenings – especially the one just before she passed away peacefully at the age of fifteen. I owe her a thanks for helping me with my observations by making this young astronomer feel safe at night. You will always be my favorite of our dogs. 3 Acknowledgements Below is a list of books that I read (most for the first time) in the last few years. They were all deeply influential in helping me discover many of the toughest objects that fill out my list. I would like to note that one I have not read, but greatly look forward to doing so, is Richard P. Wilds Bright & Dark Nebulae: An Observers Guide to Understanding the Clouds of the Milky Way Galaxy. Atlas of the Messier Objects by Ronald Stoyan The Backyard Astronomer’s Guide* by Terence Dickinson and Alan Dyer Cosmic Challenge – The Ultimate Observing List for Amateurs by Philip S.

  • The COLOUR of CREATION Observing and Astrophotography Targets “At a Glance” Guide
    The COLOUR of CREATION observing and astrophotography targets “at a glance” guide. (Naked eye, binoculars, small and “monster” scopes) Dear fellow amateur astronomer. Please note - this is a work in progress – compiled from several sources - and undoubtedly WILL contain inaccuracies. It would therefor be HIGHLY appreciated if readers would be so kind as to forward ANY corrections and/ or additions (as the document is still obviously incomplete) to: [email protected]. The document will be updated/ revised/ expanded* on a regular basis, replacing the existing document on the ASSA Pretoria website, as well as on the website: coloursofcreation.co.za . This is by no means intended to be a complete nor an exhaustive listing, but rather an “at a glance guide” (2nd column), that will hopefully assist in choosing or eliminating certain objects in a specific constellation for further research, to determine suitability for observation or astrophotography. There is NO copy right - download at will. Warm regards. JohanM. *Edition 1: June 2016 (“Pre-Karoo Star Party version”). “To me, one of the wonders and lures of astronomy is observing a galaxy… realizing you are detecting ancient photons, emitted by billions of stars, reduced to a magnitude below naked eye detection…lying at a distance beyond comprehension...” ASSA 100.
