Connecticut Star Party 29<\/strong>
September 27-29, 2019, Goshen CT<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

By Donna Pursley<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a beautiful Friday to start CSP this year. The field was set up a little closer to the entrance. We tried to keep everyone closer to each other this year to promote conversations and interaction between the attendees. Everyone loves showing off their scope to someone new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\ndo believe that I saw many new faces this year. We also had a number of younger\nattendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After\na delicious dinner, we all heading out to the scope field. It was a clear night\nand everyone was able to observe. It was very dewy, so many were thankful for\nthe additional power this year. The skies were clear till about 2:30am when\nsome clouds passed through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New this year, we trialed supplying power to the main scope field. Dave Johnson had a quiet generator set up far away from the field, behind the warming tent with a long cord to our power panel. There were people plugged in to take advantage of this new feature. I believe that it was a success so we will continue to supply power for next year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the location of the generator, we also moved the warming tent closer to the field. I think this also went over very well as there were always people in the tent enjoying the beverages and snacks. Bob Carruthers does make the very best popcorn. It wasn\u2019t all that cold out, but the warming tent is a nice place to sit and enjoy each other\u2019s company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first speaker on Saturday was Pete Kanderfer. He spoke on the “Astronomy at Stonehenge.” He gave a good presentation about the pros and cons of the different theories regarding the stones alignments and how they may or may not had been used to predict eclipses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nsecond speaker was Glenn Chaple. He spoke about many different variable stars.\nHe discussed the repeating patterns of some different stars and which ones\nwould make the best viewing targets for amateur astronomers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASNH President Greg Barker had a short Q&A session for anyone who had any thoughts on CSP. What they liked, didn\u2019t like, etc. It was good to have the opinions of those who actually attend the CSP events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nforecast was for heavy rain on Saturday night so most people packed up during\nthe day. Saturday was another beautiful day without a cloud in the sky. Many of\nour participants took advantage of the area and hiked around looking at all the\nfall colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a nice crowd for the group photo just before the raffles. Each child under 14 received a huge stack of items to enjoy during the year. The main raffle prize, an Orion 8\u201d Dobsonian (donated by Cheryl and Greg Barker), was won by Gary Zrelak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dinner\nwas a huge success especially dessert, which was a build your own sundae with\nnumerous toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For\nthose who ventured out to the Camporee field, there were half a dozen scopes\nstill set up and the viewing was nice until the rain came in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to all who attended CSP and we welcome you back again next year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2019 President’s Annual Address<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Greg Barker<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another year has passed, our 82nd.\u00a0 We’ve been fairly busy. We’ve had more outreach events this year than in years past, in spite of the fact that we had some weather cancelations. We’ve had more members (86), and more attending CSP (97), than in our most recent history.\u00a0 It has been a year of more…more Girl Scout badging events (3), and more libraries taking on loaner scopes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also had a couple of milestones this year, the\ntwenty-fifth year for the annual Madison Moonlight Walk and the twenty-third\nyear for our Young’s Park public outreach events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 is looking like we could break some of our 2019\nrecords.  2020 brings CSP30, the\nthirtieth year of our star party, and even more groups are starting to reserve\nevent dates, so it’s going to be another busy year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to thank everyone who helped to make all our events\nsuccessful throughout the year possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy New Year, I am looking forward to seeing everyone at\nthe Winter Solstice party on Saturday January 11th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent ASNH Activities<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Summer Astronomy Programs at the Henry Carter Hull Library in Clinton<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the summer, ASNH members participated in a variety of\nastronomy-related programs for both children and adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Fridays throughout the summer, the Families Helping Families\nprogram of Clinton provided a community lunch to anyone who came to the library,\nand this was followed by an educational activity for children and adults.  ASNH members led the activities on three of\nthese Fridays.  One featured solar\nobserving through a Personal Solar Telescope (PST), a second involved a scaled\nplanet walk across the library grounds, and in the third, Al Washburn and\nLaurie Averill displayed the ASNH meteorite collection.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teen\/tween programs explored mixing colored lights using pinhole\nviewers and creating an image of the Andromeda Galaxy using RGB filtered\nphotographs taken through the NASA Micro-Observatory.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One adult program by Laurie Averill featured a presentation about\nthe long-term impact of scientific findings resulting from the study of the\nlunar samples collected by the Apollo 11 astronauts. In another adult program,\nJim Mazur described techniques of astrophotography for beginning through\nadvanced photographers.  All of these\nevents were part of the library\u2019s Universe of Stories summer program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Observing at Hammonasset Beach State Park, August 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This was the second observing event we have attended at Hammonasset this year. Members of the Thames Amateur Astronomical Society also participated. Even though this event took place on the weekend of Stellafane, we had a total of about 10 scopes or binoculars up and running. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A large crowd of about 150 people came by on this warm summer evening. The skies were partly cloudy, but there were enough openings for everyone to get a good look at Jupiter with its four bright moons and Saturn with two or three of its moons. Our timing was lucky, because Jupiter’s Great Red Spot was right on its meridian just as darkness fell, and it was quite prominent (and definitely reddish in color). The Cassini division in Saturn’s rings was also visible for those who took the time to look carefully. The clouds started to increase later in the evening, but for those who stayed late some of the larger scopes provided good views of the Ring Nebula, Messier 13 in Hercules, and a few other deep-sky objects.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Observing Night with Northford Girl Scouts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, October 5, ASNH members brought their scopes to a park in Northford, where a troop of girl scouts (actually Daisy Scouts, about ages 5 to 8) and their parents came to do some observing. The main targets of the evening were the first-quarter Moon, Jupiter, and Saturn. The girls made us the poster below to thank ASNH for coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBSERVER\u2019S CHALLENGE* \u2013OCTOBER, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Glenn Chaple<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NGC 7448 \u2013 Spiral\nGalaxy in Pegasus (Mag: 11.4  Size: 2.7\u2019 X 1.2\u2019)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As promised last month, we leave the relatively easy Messier stuff behind and return to the realm of the faint fuzzies \u2013 in this case the spiral galaxy NGC 7448 in Pegasus. When William Herschel discovered it on October 16, 1784, he assigned it the Herschel Catalog designation H2512<\/sup> \u2013 his 251st<\/sup> Class II entry. The Class II category was reserved by Herschel for what he considered to be \u201cFaint Nebulae\u201d. As such, it is a visual challenge for owners of modest-sized telescopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Viewed with my 10-inch f\/5 reflector under magnitude 5 skies, NGC 7448 was a ghostly presence \u2013 a rather faint averted vision sight. I sensed an oval shape with a NW\/SE orientation \u2013 an impression verified by descriptive notes in Volume 1 of Kepple and Sanner\u2019s Night Sky Observer\u2019s Guide <\/em>and images sent by Doug Paul and Mario Motta.                                                            <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motta\u2019s image shows bright detached segments surrounding the inner disk. Because of these, Halton Arp included NGC 7448 in his Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies<\/em> with the designation Arp 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2000.0 coordinates for NGC 7448 are 23h00m, +15\u00b059\u2019. Star-hoppers can work with the finder charts below, which show its location 1 \u00bd degrees WNW of Markab (alpha [\u03b1] Pegasi). NGC 7448 is approximately 80 million light years from Earth and is about 60,000 light years in diameter.            <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*The purpose of the Observer\u2019s Challenge is to\nencourage the pursuit of visual observing and is open to everyone who is\ninterested. Contributed notes, drawings, or photographs will be published in a\nmonthly summary. Submit them to Roger Ivester (rogerivester@me.com).

Observing Report<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

During Mars’ opposition I decided to try the observe Mars for about two weeks around opposition with my mounted 10X50 binoculars. The disc of Mars was plain to see and I was able to see some variations of color tone on Mars. The dust was brown but I was able to see small areas of darkness. On one night, I saw a white spot in the north which I think was the polar hood. On other evenings when the dust was less intense, I was able to see some red on Mars. The best thing I saw was a little white dot which seemed disconnected from the south pole of Mars and this was the Southern Ice Cap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Night Sky Highlights for October-December 2019<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Solar System<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Transit of Mercury
November 11 <\/strong>
This fairly rare event occurs only about 13 time a century.  If we have clear skies, this transit will be nicely placed for observers throughout the eastern US.  Using a proper solar filter or eyepiece projection is essential for your safety! <\/strong> With proper precautions, you can see Mercury as a small round ball slowly crossing the disk of the Sun.

Here are the times of the main events (EST):
First contact:  7:35 am
Mid-transit: 10:19 am
Last contact: 1:04 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mercury<\/strong>
In addition to its transit across the Sun in November, you can spot Mercury low in the west right after sunset during mid-October.  It reaches it greatest eastern elongation (when it is farthest from the Sun) on October 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venus<\/strong>
Venus can be spotted low in the western sky after sunset, passing by Jupiter and Saturn at different times.  It will pass by Jupiter on November 24 (though the two planets will be very low in the sky), and it will be 2 degrees south of Saturn on December 11.  Venus will appear much brighter than either Jupiter or Saturn, but if you look through a telescope it will have a much smaller disk (just 10 to 12 arcseconds in diameter).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mars
<\/strong>In mid-October, the red planet starts to appear in the eastern sky before dawn. It gets higher in the eastern sky as we move into November and December, but it is still very far from the Earth, and its disk will appear very tiny through a telescope, even with high magnification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jupiter<\/strong>
Look for Jupiter early in the fall while it is still visible.  It will be in the southwest after sunset on October evenings.  It is moving toward the Sun, and by the end of November it will be too low in the evening twilight to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturn<\/strong>
Through October and November, you can spot Saturn in the western part of Sagittarius.  Besides observing its rings through a telescope, see if you can spot a few of its moons nearby. By December it will be so low in the west after sunset that it will be hard to spot.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uranus and Neptune<\/strong>
Autumn is the best time of year to look for these two gas giants. (In fact, this will be true for many years to come because the positions of these distant planets change very slowly from year to year.)  Uranus is in Aries and Neptune is in Aquarius. Both can be seen in even the smallest of telescopes if you take the time to find them. You will need a finder chart such as the one in this article from the Sky & Telescope<\/em> website:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

www.skyandtelescope.com\/observing\/planets\/ice-giants-neptune-and-uranus\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deep Sky Objects<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many deep-sky\nobjects can be exciting targets to find on a crisp, clear fall evening.  Here is just a small sample, ranging from a\nnearby double star to very distant galaxies. If you need directions, the online\nversion of this newsletter has links to get printable star-hop charts for these\nobjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eta Cassiopeiae (Achird)<\/strong>
Double star in Cassiopeia
This is one of the easiest double stars in the sky to locate because it is the \u201csixth star\u201d of the W-shape of Cassiopeia, near the second bend in the W.  It is one of the nearest stars, just 19.4 light years away, and the brighter component is about the same size and brightness as our Sun. Look for the contrasting colors in this pretty pair.  Star-hop chart<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Messier 103<\/strong>
Open cluster in Cassiopeia
This cluster is easy to find near the first bend in the W-shape of Cassiopeia.  It is a small but distinct cluster with a triangular shape.  Star-hop chart<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Messier 29<\/strong>
Open cluster in Cygnus
This is a small cluster of a few dozen stars that is just a few degrees away from the central star in the cross shape of Cygnus.  Star-hop chart<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Messier 39<\/strong>
Open cluster in Cygnus
This is a large and loosely structured open cluster that can be easily seen in binoculars and is a nice target for a telescope with a wide-field eyepiece.  Star-hop chart<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NGC 7009, the Saturn Nebula (Caldwell 55)<\/strong>
Planetary nebula in Aquarius
This unique planetary nebula has two thin projections that make it resemble the planet Saturn, although it has a blue-green color. At magnitude 7.8, it can be seen in even small telescopes.  It is estimated to be about 3000 light years away.  Star-hop chart<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Messier 76, the Little Dumbbell Nebula
<\/strong>Planetary nebula in Perseus
This planetary can be seen as a rectangular patch in a low-power eyepiece, but with a larger scope and higher power its two lobes can be seen, and its shape is somewhat similar to the much larger dumbbell nebula (M27).   Star-hop chart<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NGC 457, the Owl Cluster (Caldwell 13)
<\/strong>Open cluster in Cassiopeia
This is also known as the ET cluster.  Looking through a low-power eyepiece, the observer can imagine either an owl shape with two bright eyes and outstretched wings, or the character ET from the movie. It is about 7,900 light years away.  Star-hop chart<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NGC 253, the Silver Coin Galaxy (Caldwell 65)<\/strong>
Galaxy in Sculptor
Because it is relatively nearby (9.8 million light years), this galaxy appears very large through a telescope, and it would probably receive much more attention except that it is found fairly low in the sky at mid-northern latitudes.  It is the largest member of the Sculptor group of galaxies, the closest group to our own Local Group. Through a large telescope on a dark night it shows a lot of internal structure, and the entire galaxy has a mottled appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NGC 7331 (Caldwell 30)<\/strong>
Galaxy in Pegasus
About 47 million light years away, this fairly bright spiral is magnitude 9.3, and offers a good target for any telescope.  Larger scopes will show some structure in its oblong shape.  There are four smaller and dimmer galaxies just to the east of NGC 7331 that may be seen with medium to large scopes. Star-hop chart<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perseus I <\/strong>
Galaxy cluster in Perseus
If you want to look very deep into the universe, try spotting the brighter members of this galaxy cluster.  The group is 240 million light years away, making it one of the most distant galaxy clusters that can be observed through typical amateur telescopes.  Two of its brightest members are galaxies NGC 1272 and 1275 (both around magnitude 11.9).  Other dimmer galaxies can be also spotted in medium to large scopes.

Here are four beautiful images obtained by Shannon Calvert at this year’s Connecticut Star Party. According to Shannon: “The astrophotos were taken with a modified Canon 7D mark II on an Astro-Tech 115mm triplet APO refractor. All subframes were 90 seconds at ISO1600, and I managed 69 shots of the Helix, 54 shots of Sculptor, and 40 shots each of M74 and Flame\/Horsehead Nebula before the sun came up.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
