Would You Recommend This Story Why Or Why Not

Watching Mars



We are very close to the opposition of Mars on 29 January and so we have to take advantage of these sunny days, not being in a few days came from new clouds.
The vastante acceptable is seing 3.5 / 5, there is something very cold wind from the east, but not upset at all the observation and that is due to the leadership in these windy days is when you see the pros to look under dome.
The observation I made with the Newton 12 "putting the hiperiom 5mm ( 197X)
can see a large dark area below the northern cap (Acidalia Planitia) and acia the south you can see (margaritifer Terra).
The northern ice cap is bright white and are no clouds or fog for other apples on Mars.
after visual observation of Mars I started to make more videos with the web cam SPC 900 NC and then take a picture with all the video frams better.

Acterss Showing Their Boobs

The preparation observations is essential, but spoil you sometimes clouds the


Hello,


At this time of year you have to take the few clear nights and this year there is more emphasis on this because we almost always clouds over our heads. Morning was
raining, the classic chirimille, bone was like fog that seems to be no, but you cove to the core and in the afternoon clearing the wind changed a little north of what he sensed that the night is clear, as without it happened. Tonight
wanted to try something that I was hovering over his head for several days and was using this Web ephemeris specially prepared for the coordinates of your observatory and telescopes planted http://www.calsky.com/
On this page you can make your preferences observational ephemerides, comets, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, planets. etc ... and times you prefer.
The page gives you the items you see in the night and in the hours that you prefer and the best conditions possible observation, bone rarely will you objects that are very low on the horizon. Well
the page in question, I gave in principle to the planet Uranus was already towards the W and why not leave because of the until who knows when .. lol
I put in the box and put the 8mm hiperiom 187Xy not even see a small disk of only 3.4 "blue and does not deserve my attention most.
Next on the list are open clusters, NGC 7510 that starting M103 is similar to known but smaller and fainter stars. His likeness is due to its shape as a triangle but with one small exception, it seems that the center has some cloudiness, which makes it a bit nicer and it will be good to see with larger openings. Open Cluster NGC 637
small about 3 "with a dozen stars, not much and surely no one would like to observe more than a 70mm. Another open cluster NGC436
too small, too little and what catches my attention is that beside the known NGC457 TEE. Open Cluster NGC225
about 11 'diameter with stars forming some triangles.
NGC1342 is a large open cluster in Perseus and some poor.
IC1805 open cluster with nebulosity that is best appreciated with UHC filter and now I miss jo harp not have the penalty at that time.
The Heart Nebula is at least about 1.5 degrees which require a comprehensive eye 2 "UHC filter 2."
This nebula I have seen it with sounds of harp but I'm not sure.
NGC7662 Planetary Nebula in Andromeda bright blue with many X 440X is seen inside a small hole with a bright ring between the center and outside the nebula.
At this point arises a sudden I got scared and took me out of the charm of observation, the red light By giving the observatory the low energy lamp stick a fuse pop and wiring left in the dark observatory, the pc and of course my home.
passed half hour between that low and I will give the fuse switch and change the lamp.
After all this I see that the sky is spoiling for a while and decided to leave the list that still had far ahead, leaving galaxies, nebulae and some double over to watch and I get to Mars before the sky was completely marred.
Mars is almost dark and you only see an area of \u200b\u200bthe polar cap W N, but after a while I see that W side of Mars is a very clear look very similar to the color of the polar cap N.
also see it the other night I saw in the S polar cap should be no cap in itself, but some clouds and fog at the time on the cover S. Then
already full of clouds everywhere so I had to close the observatory to another night, he has to know when it will be under the weather this year.

What gives of the view-finder.




Hello,


After we spent the night before, water and hurricane clearing afternoon being all clear skies with seing quite acceptable and had to take this heaven that this year is more cloudy than usual in winter.
had not given any goals, because comets are not available to me at this time as he tries the flyby night 2010AL30 or whatever, as there are several questions about their nature and there are already indications that till some interplanetary probe could be venerated as the Express.
From Asteroids? not be got to see it as something more than 15 mg and as much as I try to see in the field where he ran, and that his movement is very fast.
Comets at my disposal are a few but in theory I could not see them, the P / Reinmuth (30P) theoretical Mg 14.7 and the P / Tritton (157P) to 11.9 Mg were at the time of observation in the sky at a good height, but his observation was negative.
Tonight the first thing my eyes saw was the IC 434 ( horse head) I do not filter at all with the 12 "and hiperiom 13mm (114x). The nebula can be seen instantly seeing an area darker than the surrounding bone the rest of the nebula IC434 . I try to do with the Astronomik UHC filter to see if improvement is achieved, but what you see is what you saw before hair now does not look or looks worse than before.
I address the planetary nebula NGC 20 22 of about 30 "in diameter and 12.4 Mg according GUIDE 8.0 but I get that this nebula is somewhat brighter than the Mg 12, which ensures GUIDE.
Through the search field (6.2 °) reflected on the monitor GUIDE see that in the same field are up to 5 items of interest to be seen in more detail.
Step to describe; Collinder 69 Open Cluster with nebulosity is seen around the brightest stars, is a curious group NS aligned with stars in an arc of the Mg Mg 3.5 to 7.6. You have to watch it better with a large eye since it occupies more than 1 in what I call the head of Orion.
If we move to the West in the same field in the form we with another open cluster, Dolidze 19, shabby with few stars and roam the Mg 10.
Climbing 0.5 degrees north we found a 5.7 mg star TYC 700 1015 and a nebula around Barnard : 223 that can be seen quite well.
Almost 2 ° S of the object before we find another cluster Dolidze 21 very poor and that can only be seen as stars from the mg12 to 14.
Between the middle of the two objects above and slightly to the west is a galaxy NGC 1875 of 14.6 mg. This galaxy is perfectly free to use indirect vision over a curious group of stars of the mg mg 7.4 to 8.5.
All these objects were in the field of search engine and just had to get out of the about 2.8 degrees to meet NGC 1819 of 13.5 mg look much better than the galaxy had seen before. NGC 1875.
As is necessary in these days when Mars is now almost in its opposition was forced to give a time of observation;
Directly I put 297x and it shows that even this rather low for planetary observation. Run the rear fan to see if something better picture and see that the improvement is not too much but something has improved, but I stick with the x2 barlom 8mm hiperiom gives me a total of 371X and with this increase and in good time when the atmosphere calms down I can see the few details at this time (23:00 LT) were present.
can see clearly the northern polar cap with a dark area around the cap and a little more extensive to the east of Arcadia Planitia pole.
bone In the southern polar opposite is distinguished as something its south polar cap and a somewhat wider area than the northern cap darker.
If you want to see more details of Mars have to watch these days starting at 5 am TL
And that was all it took about two hours of observation with little to move the telescope io.
