Melbourne Astronomical Society: December 2009
http://mlbastro.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Amateur Astronomy in Melbourne,FL. Delta 4 Slices the Night Sky. Space Coast living has a unique benfit: we get to watch missile launches. They are always different and always impressive. Even though we're 20 miles south of Cape Canaveral we got a great view of the Delta 4 night launch on Dec-05. A great rumble really topped it off. The Delta 4 vehicle carried a WGS 3 satellite to geosynchronous orbit. Posted by Rick Young. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). President - Ron Netzley.

Amateur Astronomy in Melbourne,FL. Barrier Island Sanctuary Star Gaze. January 28, 2012. A cool breeze and dark skies was the setting for our first MAS Public Gaze of the season. With approx a dozen scopes and a pair of binoculars - a good crowd of adults and children attended the Beach Side Stargaze.

Melbourne Astronomical Society: May 2011
http://mlbastro.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Amateur Astronomy in Melbourne,FL. Omega Centauri with a Camera. Globular cluster Omega Centauri is a huge ball of millions of stars but it's difficult to observe because it's very low on the southern horizon. From my house on the NW side of Melbourne it's well into the MLB lightdome so I have to use a scope to see it at all. From a dark site in New Mexico I could see it naked eye even though it's only 9 degrees above the horizon. May 30, 2011. Posted by Rick Young. Links to this post. The attached photo...

Melbourne Astronomical Society: June 2011
http://mlbastro.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Amateur Astronomy in Melbourne,FL. While at a dark site in NM I took my deepest image ever. Naturally, I aimed at the Ursa Major location of the "Hubble Deep Field" image. Using my NP101is 4" refractor and ST-8300M camera I took 12 subexposures of 6 minutes each for 72 minutes of total exposure time. The image is very cool for what it shows. I've annotated several very dim galaxies that are as faint at 18th magnitude. I could find distances for some of them. as much as 1.7 Gly away! June 24, 2011. Joinin...

Melbourne Astronomical Society: A Dark Sky Comparison
http://mlbastro.blogspot.com/2011/02/dark-sky-comparison.html
Amateur Astronomy in Melbourne,FL. A Dark Sky Comparison. I was recently in the Mayhill area of New Mexico and really enjoyed the dark skies there. The stars and winter Milky Way were just fantastic. While I knew it's much darker in NM than at my home in Melbourne, I thought I'd take dark sky comparison photos to see the difference. Horizon on the right side of the picture. In fact, if it weren't for Orion in the sky, I'd think this was a daytime photo! Feb 28, 2011. Posted by Rick Young. Joining MAS wil...
