How Do You Know When Period Is Over

visual constellation Auriga

squeezing this phenomenal program to plan my observations.
Today I decided to first see some bright asteroids were at this time in heaven.
02/27/2011 22:10 UT.
The list provided as you want to see tonight included asteroids to mg 12, open clusters in Auriga to mg 12 and finally some interesting double stars and some closed ranging from 1.2 "to 1 , 8 " separation.
I think it's essential to prepare the observations has to be performed on field trips and me in an observatory.
many times I've gone to the field to watch with friends and colleagues of the Association of Astronomy Zamorana AZA and almost always see the same objects and on rare occasions when our friend Angel Luis Huelmo is with us that always leads a route to follow without my lists of comets that sometimes I get to teach a bright comet or any weaker than my 12 "is not able to reach and so on more than one occasion I ask Angel the skylight 16 "and 25" for this purpose.
them I often tell my friends that although we enjoy watching objects like messiers is more rewarding engaging in some field of astronomy in particular, for example, my case is that of comets, can be another variable stars, others might be interested in double stars, supernovas , etc, etc.
Everything is starting to organize and specialize in something specific we can do without many means and each could do in the evenings we have to ourselves and sometimes with friends and colleagues of our group to teach some astronomical object other than the avituales , for example someone who is a follower of supernovae teach the supernova that at that time was visible. So I
essential to use a program like this to display of celestial objects on the horizon.
do not know if there will be more programs like this but this is very easy to use.
As I said in the beginning had a list of objects and let's start by asteroids.
I must comment that the program can get a list of objects you want, at different times of the night.
From the list of asteroids that night were observed 3 of the 8 that were planned.
78 - Diana 11.97 mg
37 - Fides of 11.27 mg
16 - Psyche of 10.78 mg
Next on the list were open clusters in the constellation Auriga.
should not see many similar objects, such as open clusters, if you look at many one after another sometimes you get tired and so should be skipped occasionally list other items we have for that night, for example get a double in the middle of the observations open clusters, galaxies and so on.
open clusters NGC started by 2281; beautiful cumulus with bright stars and a few pairs of stars.
this cluster NGC 2192 is weak but the good thing is that it stars A big weak.
this cluster NGC 2126 is remarkable for being located next to a bright star.
NGC 2099 - open cluster M37 spectacular with countless stars with a bright star in its center.
tonight I had some also double as something closed the STF 1024 in the same constellation and to change a little monotonous to see many open clusters followed I decided to watch.
For these objects and you need a certain quality of seing and put the eye in the eyepiece 5mm Iperion 297x with my telescope I see that it is the night for these objects are distinguished well that is a double star but not I like the picture on this night, close double star with 1.3 "of separation and mg of 9 and 9.5 respectively , but its resolution is not clean by seing bad as my telescope can with stars of 0.4" but Good night.
I had in the other 7 doubles list apparently seen more but I park it for another night better.
I return to the list in the globular clusters in Auriga with NGC 1883, weaker than is best seen at 185X on.
NGC 1912 - M38 spectacular cumulus and you have to recreate observing it for a while, it is worth.
NGC 1960-M36 Very cool with bright stars, you can not say more. NGC
1907 small open cluster. NGC 1857
cumulus very weak and barely visible. NGC 1893
cumulus medium rare with bright stars. NGC 1724
cumulus super rare with only 3 stars forming a triangle.
NGC 1778 cluster with several doubles inside. NGC 1664
Cumulo nice next to a bright star to the right.
Saturday Morning I have seen at the observatory, about 12 people and tend to re-teach the most striking in the winter sky, M42, M35, M44 in the end as usual with some objects striking that people always love them and of course our beloved Saturn is visible before midnight.

to the next fellow;
