Sky at Night Magazine

Who do you think they are? Looks like some one in a hoody sat on a throne to me and there is someone sat to their right and slightly behind. Seems odd that there are what look like two persons sat in the Pillars Of Creation.

Hi! I have a car jump start pack that has a 12 volt feed. Is it safe for me to connect my CG5 mount to it for power with the car(cigarette) lead supplied with the mount? I'm pretty sure it is, but don't want to risk it if not certain. Thanks in advance!

Lets hope for clear night's

Hi,

I write a voluntary page in our parish mag each month on matters astronomical. I've been doing it for a few months now, and the usual format is to pick a constellation and describe it in general terms, then list the events of note taking place in the night sky over the month the magazine covers. The problem is that the copy for the article needs to be in by the 13th or so ...

It's mostly solar action this month so far, as a cold and cold weather have kept me indoors:

Although the opposition of Saturn isn't until 28th April, the Seeliger effect (brightening of the rings) is already noticeable. This image was taken with a Celestron NexStar SE6, a Phillips SPC900NC webcam, a Televue 2x Barlow, 863 frames at 5 fps and 1/25 sec, then processed and saved as a PNG file in AutoStakkert!2 and the waveletted in Registax6.

Hi everyone,

I have a very basic Jessops 800-80 telescope, but have misplaced the eyepiece (they're together in a box that I think went missing in a recent house move!)

Two questions: do I need to replace with Jessops eyepieces, or can I replace with some better ones? If I have to buy jessops ones, any idea where I might get my hands on them?

Thanks in advance!

I'm going to rehab for addiction to empanadas. As I get private medical insurance through my company, I'm going to the Priory.

In the meantime I've just finished by March video accompanied by Moonlight Shadow by Mike Oldfield
