STERNBILD GIRAFFE (Camelopardalis – Cam) STERNBILD GIRAFFE (Camelopardalis – Cam) Die GIRAFFE ist ein Sternbild des nördlichen Himmels. Sie kulminiert im Dezember gegen 24h. Es ist ein unauffälliges Sternbild und besteht aus visuell lichtschwachen Sternen, beinhaltet aber interessante Mehrfachsterne und Deep Sky- Objekte. Für ungeübte Beobachter ein Tip: fast alle Sterne, die zwischen dem POLARSTERN und CAPELLA aufzuspüren sind, gehören zur Giraffe. Im Februar und März 2016 zeigt sich der Komet C/2013 US10 CATALINA in diesem Sternbild. Die Giraffe befindet sich innerhalb der Koordinaten RE 14h 26’ bis 03h 15’ und DE +52° bis +86°; Die Nachbarsternbilder sind im Norden KEPHEUS, im Westen KASSIOPEIA, im Süden PERSEUS, FUHRMANN und LUCHS sowie im Osten der GROßE BÄR, DRACHE und KLEINE BÄR Die Giraffe ist nördlich von 37° geogr. Breite zirkumpolar und südl. von –4° nicht mehr vollständig sichtbar. Die Objekte: 1. die Markierungssterne 2. Doppel- und Mehrfachsterne 3. die Veränderlichen 4. der Offene Sternhaufen NGC 1502 5. die Galaxien NGC2403 und IC 342 1. die Markierungssterne Die Sterne im Giraffen gehören wahrlich nicht zu den sichtbar Hellsten, wenn man bedenkt, dass der Stern BETA mit 4 Magnituden an der Spitze steht. Es sind jedoch mitunter wahre Leuchtkraftriesen dabei, die wegen der immensen Distanz nicht heller erscheinen. Das Gerüst des Giraffen wird von den Sternen 7 Cam – Beta – Alpha – Gamma – CS und CE markiert.

Fizeau (France); IRSOL, Istituto Ricerche Solari di Locarno (Switzerland) Received 6 Feb 2012 Revised Day Month Year Gerbert of Aurillac was the most prominent personality of the tenth century: as- tronomer, organ builder and music theoretician, mathematician, philosopher, and finally pope with the name of Silvester II (999-1003). Gerbert introduced firstly the arabic num- bers in Europe, invented an abacus for speeding the calculations and found a rational approximation for the equilateral triangle area, in the letter to Adelbold here discussed. Gerbert described a semi-sphere to Constantine of Fleury with built-in sighting tubes, used for astronomical observations. The procedure to identify the star nearest to the North celestial pole is very accurate and still in use in the XII century, when Computa- trix was the name of Polaris. For didactical purposes the Polaris would have been precise enough and much less time consuming, but here Gerbert was clearly aligning a precise equatorial mount for a fixed instrument for accurate daytime observations. Through the sighting tubes it was possible to detect equinoxes and solstices by observing the Sun in the corresponding days. The horalogium of Magdeburg was probably a big and fixed- mount nocturlabe, always pointing the star near the celestial pole.

  • IC-342 IC-342 Is an Intermediate Spiral Galaxy in the Constellation Camelopardalis
    MONTHLY OBSERVER’S CHALLENGE Las Vegas Astronomical Society Compiled by: Roger Ivester, Boiling Springs, North Carolina & Fred Rayworth, Las Vegas, Nevada With special assistance from: Rob Lambert, Las Vegas, Nevada November 2010 IC 342 (Caldwell 5) - Hidden Galaxy in Camelopardalis Introduction The purpose of the observer’s challenge is to encourage the pursuit of visual observing. It is open to everyone that is interested, and if you are able to contribute notes, drawings, or photographs, we will be happy to include them in our monthly summary. Observing is not only a pleasure, but an art. With the main focus of amateur astronomy on astrophotography, many times people tend to forget how it was in the days before cameras, clock drives, and GOTO. Astronomy depended on what was seen through the eyepiece. Not only did it satisfy an innate curiosity, but it allowed the first astronomers to discover the beauty and the wonderment of the night sky. Before photography, all observations depended on what the astronomer saw in the eyepiece, and how they recorded their observations. This was done through notes and drawings and that is the tradition we are stressing in the observers challenge. By combining our visual observations with our drawings, and sometimes, astrophotography (from those with the equipment and talent to do so), we get a unique understanding of what it is like to look through an eyepiece, and to see what is really there. The hope is that you will read through these notes and become inspired to take more time at the eyepiece studying each object, and looking for those subtle details that you might never have noticed before.
