Karoo Starparty, 21 - 25 Maart 2012
The ASSA Pretoria Centre is continuing the annual National Karoo Starparty which was started in 2009 at the Kambro Padstal, about 20 km north of Britstown in the Karoo, next to the N12 NationalRoad.
This event is intended to be a get-together for friends that want to enjoy the beautiful Karoo sky and there are no scheduled events, talks or workshops – we go there simply to enjoy the company of fellow stargazers and the legendary Karoo sky. The date for the 2012 Starparty is scheduled for the week-end of 21 March 2012. That is Wednesday 21 to Sunday 25 March 2012.
Wednesday 21 March is a National Holiday. Please book early to avoid dissappointment!

Groot Magellaanse Wolk vanaf Boyden-sterrewag
Hi Almal, hier is een van die fotos wat geneem is tydens die naweek van die Bloemfontein/Johannesburg inter. Die een is Vrydagaandgeneem.
Frans Human het sy Canon kamera en 200mm f2.8 lens saamgebring en saam kon ons hierdie foto saamstel.
Dit is slegs 'n uur se data in totaal. Die tarantula lê links onder in die wolk. Hy vertoon blou en nie pienk nie, omdat die DSLR kamera 'n ingeboude infra rooi filter het wat dan maak dat die chip baie onsensitief vir die rooi in waterstofnewels is.
Die GMW bestaan uit ongeveer 10biljoen sterre.
Dit is verstommend hoe baie sterre die agtergrond alleen uitmaak en dis nie eers deel van die melkweg nie.
Groete

Komeet Lovejoy op 1 Januarie 2012
Uiteindelik kon ek ook vir komeet Lovejoy sien. Die wolke het Nuwejaarsnag in die niet verdwyn en so in die deinserigheid oor die see by Reebok het ek so 03:00 na die wasigheid begin soek. Eers niks, maar toe het ek die stert se kante as `n skerp lyn met 'n verkyker (12 X 50) gesien. Dof maar daar. Die ligbesoedeling is nogal `n probleem - Die son wat amper opkom en die ligte van Mosselbaai. By `n lekker donker plek sal mens die komeet dalk met die blote oog kan waarneem. Nie hier oor die see nie.
Selfs op die foto is die komeet baie dof. Kyk mooi. Dit kern is net buite Ara en dan loop dit reg deur Triangulum Australe.(Op die nuwe verwerkte foto is die komeet baie dudieliker)
Oor 'n paar dae gaan die komeet reeds vroegaand sigbaar wees. Dit moet baie donker wees.
Fotoinligting: Canon 30D op driepoot gemonteer; fokale lengte: 17mm x1.6; 3 minute beligting; f6.3; ISO 800; Foto baie effens met Lightroom verwerk. Finale verwerking met Neil Carboni se Astronomy Tools in Photoshop.
