Clear skies all! Lew Gramer owner at visualdeepsky.org ---------- Fwd: Forward of moderated message ---------- Observation Poster: Francisco Observer: Francisco Your skills: Intermedio (varios a?os) Date/time of observation: 22:43 Location of site: Valencia (Lat 39'27, Elev 22 meters) Site classification: Urbano Sky darkness: 2.9-3.1 Seeing: 4 Moon presence: Ninguna - la luna en el cielo no Instrument: binoculars 20x50 Super Zenith Magnification: Filter(s): Object(s): M42-Nebulosa de Ori?n- Category: Otro. Class: Nebulosa difusa Constellation: Orion Data: mag 4 size 65x60 arc min Position: RA : DEC : Description: Costaba ligeramente observar el cintur?n de las tres estrellas (Mintaka, Alnitak y Alnilam) pero pude observar M42. Enfoqu? a M42, que se ve?a como una mancha mediana-grande de color morado, que la distingu?a de las dem?s estrellas, cerca de ella, andaba una estrella de magnitud 4, a la cual ni siquiera confundi. Postdata: tuve que bajar los aumentos a 10x para que la imagen fuera nitida, ya que sino, costar?a mucho mas. -- ** This observing log was submitted via the IAAC Web form: www.visualdeepsky.org/enter-log.html ------------------------------------------------------- From francisco_cebrian98 at hotmail.com Wed Jul 8 13:58:14 2009 From: francisco_cebrian98 at hotmail.com (Francisco Cebrian) Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2009 17:58:14 +0000 Subject: (IAAC) Fwd: "M42-Nebulosa de Orion" In-Reply-To: <200907081332.11428.owner@visualdeepsky.org> References: <200907081332.11428.owner@visualdeepsky.org> Message-ID: > Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2009 13:32:11 -0400 > From: owner at visualdeepsky.org > To: netastrocatalog-announce at visualdeepsky.org > CC: owner at visualdeepsky.org > Subject: (IAAC) Fwd: "M42-Nebulosa de Orion" > > IAAC has a new prospective contributor of deep-sky observing logs who is not > proficient in English: would anyone be willing to assist Francisco in > translating his observing logs for submission to IAAC? > > Clear skies all! > Lew Gramer > owner at visualdeepsky.org > > > ---------- Fwd: Forward of moderated message ---------- > > Observation Poster: Francisco > > Observer: Francisco > Your skills: Intermedio (varios a?os) > Date/time of observation: 22:43 > Location of site: Valencia (Lat 39'27, Elev 22 meters) > Site classification: Urbano > Sky darkness: 2.9-3.1 > Seeing: 4 > Moon presence: Ninguna - la luna en el cielo no > Instrument: binoculars 20x50 Super Zenith > Magnification: > Filter(s): > Object(s): M42-Nebulosa de Ori?n- > Category: Otro. > Class: Nebulosa difusa > Constellation: Orion > Data: mag 4 size 65x60 arc min > Position: RA : DEC : > Description: > Costaba ligeramente observar el cintur?n de las tres estrellas (Mintaka, > Alnitak y Alnilam) pero pude observar M42. > > Enfoqu? a M42, que se ve?a como una mancha mediana-grande de color morado, > que la distingu?a de las dem?s estrellas, cerca de ella, andaba una estrella > de magnitud 4, a la cual ni siquiera confundi. > > Postdata: tuve que bajar los aumentos a 10x para que la imagen fuera nitida, > ya que sino, costar?a mucho mas. > -- > ** This observing log was submitted via the IAAC Web form: > www.visualdeepsky.org/enter-log.html > > ------------------------------------------------------- > _______________________________________________ > netastrocatalog-announce mailing list > netastrocatalog-announce at visualdeepsky.org > http://lists.visualdeepsky.org/mailman/listinfo/netastrocatalog-announce Sorry, sorry, but I'm spanish and I only talk spanish, lo que no puedo hacer es ponerlo en otro idioma porque el 99 por ciento de los visitantes sean hablantes del ingles _________________________________________________________________ ?Quieres ver los mejores videos de MSN?

Ram?n Observer: Jos? Ram?n Your skills: Intermediate (some years) Date/time of observation: Location of site: Colmenarejo, Madrid (Lat 40?34, Elev 899) Site classification: Suburban Sky darkness: 6 Seeing: 5 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)> Moon presence: None - moon not in sky Instrument: Refractor 102mm f6,6 Magnification: x22 Filter(s): OIII Object(s): M8, Lagoon Nebula Category: Emission nebula. Class: Constellation: Sagittarius Data: mag 6,0 size 90' x 40' Position: RA 18h:04m DEC -24?:23' Description: Added to show the marvels a nebular filter can do, even with an object relatively low in the sky and suffering the effects of street lights. With no filter, the unique nebula visible is the densest one -the Hourglass-, SW of 9 Sagittarii. Adding the OIII, the Lagoon suffers a spectacular change, being easily visible nebulosity around the Hourglass and both 9 Sagittarii and its companion at north as well as (fainter) around the open cluster NGC 6530, separated by a truly "dark river". North of the main nebula, one can see one much fainter that extends E-W. To resume, it looks like what one can see in pictures, except that -of course- greenish and not reddish and with less fine details. Can't wait to see it under a REAL dark sky. -- ** This observing log was submitted via the IAAC Web form: www.visualdeepsky.org/enter-log.html
