Stars that go "Boom" (Recurrently)
At the CAS meeting of July 13, 2024, Perkins Observatory Director, Don Stevens, gave a detailed lecture that explained why certain stars go novae. It featured extensive background on the physics of really dense stars, what quantum mechanics and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle has to do with it, and a demonstration using a laser.
This talk was in anticipation of the expected brightening of the recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis that is predicted to suddenly brighten some time this year.
The title of the talk is: "Recurrent Novae: The 'Old Faithfuls' of the Cosmos." After the initial CAS business meeting the talk begins at...

A Star Winks Out: July 13, 2024
มุมมอง 1082 หลายเดือนก่อน
A crude video of the July 13, 2024 occultation of the bright star Spica as seen from the lawn at Perkins observatory. The best part of the video is the reaction of those viewing, so turn the sound on. This video was shot with a 70mm lens on a DSLR, which was wholly inadequate for the task, so the quality is not optimum. That said, the star winking out is visible! Video by Brad Hoehne

    Has anyone tried silvering all the surfaces of the mirror? As Aluminium has a very high thermal conductivity. This would give it a uniform emissivity over its surface, and so gain or loose heat equally. With the front only silvered, it'll loose and gain more heat at the front than at the rest of the unsilvered glass.

    Thank you Mr Greer (and everyone at Columbus Astronomical Society) I have read several of your articles on the thermal properties of Newtonian telescopes and found them very useful indeed. After a couple of minor modifications using fans and opening up the rear of my scopes, my 6” & 8” Newtonian’s regularly give excellent performance when compared to how they used to perform. I think the thermal management of any telescope, regardless of its design, is something that many observers overlook. I also know (through simple experimentation) that reducing the thermal effects of the optics on any design of scope is a must for critical high power viewing. Recently, I tried insulating my 8” SCT and 7” Maksutov with very positive results. Thank you once again Mr Greer, your work is very much appreciated here in England (UK)

    I used a telescope years ago when I was young. Over the years I would just view rocket launches, meteor showers, and satellites with the naked eye. A few months ago was comet neowise. I read better viewing was accomplished with binoculars. I grabbed my old 10x50 binoculars to view the comet. At dusk, while waiting for the show I looked up through the binoculars. I was blown away at the amount of stars that appeared! I now use 15x70 skymasters on a pistol grip ball mounted on a monopod for hours of stellar viewing. I'm addicted lol. Every cloudless night without a bright moon I drive 20 minutes to a designated dark sky area. Those 15x70 are my grab and go binoculars. I also have 25x100 mounted on a oberwerk series 5000 tripod that I am beginning to use more.
