George Lufsey's Astronomy Page New Projects include 2 "cookbook cameras". Purchased 2 partially built boards and enclosures for the TI 211 and TI 245 ccd chips. Construction project and photos to follow. Please come back and visit again! Member 90 MM Refractor This refractor was found at a yard sale. It can be used for prime focus photos of the moon. See the example. Digital cameras work better. Planets require eyepiece projection, clock drives, and longer or stacked exposures to look good photographically. Moon Photo taken with refractor 6" Reflector Reflector was built with Orion mirror and diagonal, mount from University Optics, and tube from Home Depot. The mount is made from 2 car rear axles and pillow blocks mounted to plywood. It is very smooth. A motor drive with worm and gear is attached to one end of the dec. axis. Balance is critical however due to the high center of gravity of tube, finder, and focuser. Friction blocks help until the final mount is constructed. See Mel Bartels site and there is a link to David Holko's projects from which this project was the inspiration. 4 1/4" home built Newtonian Comments on eyepieces: Eyepieces (EP) or oculars are a matter of personal preference and the pocketbook. I started out with Orion Explorer 17mm and 6mm. The 17mm was very good on the moon and planets. The 6mm left a lot to be desired. I now have nearly all of the Meade 4000 Series. They are very decent for the money and recommend them as a first purchase. A direct comparison between a 10 mm Televue plossel and Meade reveals the Televue is sharper, however; the difference in price becomes the consideration.

Kid Peek II Rod Nabholz When my 9 year old son asked if we could build a telescope for his birthday, I could not have been happier. I was thrilled at the idea he wanted a telescope of his very own, and building it together would be some great one on one time. My experience with the Kid Peek telescope taught me that with kids and telescopes, the most important thing to remember is that they want to use it HANDS ON. A scope that was too delicate, or difficult to use is no fun, and won't see much action. The Kid Peek scope is a great hands on scope, and my goal for his scope was that it be the same. As we already had a kid friendly refractor, it seemed natural that this scope be a reflector. A couple of years earlier I had picked up a nice 4.5" optical tube from a defunct Meade electronic whiz-bang mount with the idea I would do something fun with it someday. It seemed that the day had arrived. It would be the foundation for Kid Peek II. When considering the mount options, I considered a pipe mount, but in the end decided for the sake of ease of use and ease of construction it is very hard to beat the simplicity of a Dobsonian mount, and so that was our mission.

29. William Lonc The 3rd edition of Radio Astronomy Projects (Third Edition), updated and expanded, will be ready by the end of 2005. Check with the publisher for http://www.ap.stmarys.ca/~lonc/lonc.html

Emeritus Professor of Physics B.Sc. (Sir George Williams, Evening Div.), Ph.D. ( St. Louis Ku-Band Intensity Interferometer This system is currently under constructionperhaps ready by the end of the winter. Other Interests 1. Development of Small Radio Telescopes suitable for student-oriented research at the undergraduate level. A 'book' entitled "Radio Astronomy Projects" is available from Radio-Sky Publishing Co. RadioSky@radiosky.com Link to Radio-Sky Publishing . See the link at the end of this Home-page for the Table of Contents of this book. The photograph shows a small radio telescope using a 0.7 metre dish. An LNB (Low Noise Block Converter) is mounted at the focal point. The output from the LNB goes to a wideband I.F. (Intermediate Frequency) amplifier mounted on the rear surface of the di sh. The bandwidth of the system is about 500 MHz. The output of the I.F. amplifier is rectified, using a semiconductor diode, and the resulting D.C. (direct current) voltage is fed to a sensitive voltmeter. The system is equivalent to a 1-pixel imager. Th e telescope gives a very clear indication of microwave emission from the Sun, as well as microwave emission from the human body. Microwave emission from the human body comes as a surprise to most of us. The Galileo Case ; what actually happened?. The most plausible (in my view) account of the 'case' is given in a recent book (published in 1994) by Annibale Fantoli with the title "Galileo: For Copernicanism and For the Church". The book is available from The University of Notre Dame Press, ISBN 0-268-01029-3. For some thoughs on the Galileo event that are somewhat iconolastic and somewhat plausible, see

Home Micro Projects Astronomy Scale ... Links Astronomy Projects One of my favorite projects while working for the UCLA Astronomy Department was the UCLA 24" telescope. I converted a Meade ETX-90RA into a Goto telescope. Back in the mid 70's, I made a 6" aluminum telescope mirror . The blanks came from a company called Innovative Optical Materiel. A few years ago, I decided to make a new aluminum mirror. I used the equations below to calculate the curve required, then cut the curve on a lathe: Calculating the Sagitta of a spherical mirror S = ROC - SQRT (ROC^2 - r^2) Sagitta at any radius of a spherical mirror: Sr = SQRT (ROC^2 - y^2) - SQRT (ROC^2 - r^2) where ROC = radius of curvature r = radius of mirror y = radius at which sagitta is measured.

36. NASA/MSU-Bozeman CERES Project Educational Activities Classroomready astronomy activities and lessons for levels K-12. Created by a team of master teachers, university faculty, and NASA researchers. http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/EdActivities.html

A team of master teachers, university faculty, and NASA researchers have created a series of web-based astronomy and astrobiology lessons for the CERES Project. These classroom-ready activities for K-12 students represent a robust combination of contemporary teaching/learning strategies from the National Science Education Standards (NRC, 1996), exciting and current NASA science data, and Internet pointers to an endless supply of accurate and timely resources. Three Types of Classroom-Ready Lessons are Available On-line: STUDENT INQUIRIES / EXTENSION LESSONS Students explore NASA data to construct first-hand knowledge about the astronomical universe. These internet-based lessons require 1 to 4 class hours and are tied explicitly to the NRC National Science Education Standards astronomy objectives. They can be used as an introduction to astronomy topics, as an intermediate activity, or as an extension activity that requires active participation by students. SPACEQUESTS QuestForm Template APPLICATIONS IN ASTROBIOLOGY Students explore interdisciplinary science topics within the context of astrobiology to construct first-hand knowledge about the origin, distribution, and future of life on Earth and beyond. These internet-based lessons require 1 to 4 class hours and are closely tied to the NRC National Science Education Standards and the Principles and Standards for Mathematics. These lessons can be used as stand alone activities or as supplemental materials for standard math and science courses. Many of these activities are suitable for both middle and high school students, even though they may be cited as being appropriate for one group or another.

Solar System image by kolesn from Fotolia.com Studying astronomy can be fun for children. Astronomy is an easy field to study for many children.Stargazing and other projects can be done at home, which makes many astronomy projects ideal for summertime and weekends. Working on an astronomy project can combine knowledge of space and planets with art , math and spatial awareness, all of which are beneficial life skills. Model Solar System Building model solar systems are a popular and fun project for children. Designing a three-dimensional mobile or two-dimensional scale model of the solar system requires kids to learn about the planets and apply math skills to their project. Building a model solar system is a good project for kids of any age, and requires only a few supplies, such as polystyrene balls and paint for the planets, string, tape and scissors, or posters, rulers and markers. Constellations Learning about the constellations is a great way for kids to learn about how constellations were used in navigation and the history and stories behind their names. Using printouts of the night sky or a constellation kit can help kids find and identify various shapes and figures throughout the year. Additionally, kids can be encouraged to find their own constellations and compare them to the traditional shapes.

Astronomy Projects With contributions by John Sohl, Shane Larson, and Daniel Schroeder The heart and soul of astronomy is observing. You must look at the sky to become familiar with the sky. Part of your experience in this class will be book-learning, but another part will be actually going out and looking at the sky yourself. There are a variety of activities that can be done, and the contents of this guide are by no means an exhaustive list. Read through and find something that is of interest to you, and then go out and see the sky! Observing Safety Many observing projects can be done from your own back yard, but sometimes it is necessary or more convenient to find a location away from city lights. When observing at night, it is always best to do it with a friend or in a group. (However, you should not let someone else do your observing for you. You must make your own observations and notes and write your own report!) If you need help coordinating the opportunity to observe at night with a group, see your instructor. Do not observe alone at night if you do not feel safe!
