Miscellaneous
Along with articles on star-hopping, I've also written a number of other articles on observational astronomy and they are offered here as well.
| Binocular Dew Shields | Do you use binoculars for viewing the night sky? Here's a simple solution to help prevent dewing of the optics. BinoProj-PDF |
| Virtual Counterweighted Dosonian | Tom Krajci's Hybrid minimalist, virtual counterweight dobsonian. Major (USAF) Tom's scope takes some of the best ideas offered by the cutting edge of ATM dobsonian thought to create his own take on the idea. Tom provided the text and pictures for this web-page |
| Herschel 400.xls | Interested in a spreadsheet to the Astronomical League's "Herschel 400" observing list? Here's the 400 broken down by season. But since its a spreadsheet, you can slice it anyway you want. It worked for me! The list was originally developed from a file I got somewhere, but the information is correct and is not copyright; Enjoy. |
| Herschel 2500.xls | 400 Herschel objects not enough? How about 2500 Herschel objects! Developed similarly from older files of unknown attribution, but largely correct +/- a few items. Want to make sure? Check the objects against the NGC/IC Project database for the latest on identification of the Herschel and NGC / IC objects. |
