Viewing Guides FOR EVERY VIEWING SESSION Seek out the best dark skies that you can - the light from the Moon or street lights will affect what you can see Fainter high magnitude stars will not be visible and deep space objects will be difficult to observe In the summer, you may have to wait until midnight before it gets completely dark Dark-adapted eyes are important Eyes can take up to 20 minutes to become used to the dark conditions - then your eyes will be able to pick out the very faint objects much better Use a torch with a red light A red light allows you to see around you without losing your night vision Keep warm Take the trouble to wrap up warm - as well as a coat and gloves, a hat is important, as is an extra pair of socks to keep your feet warm A pair of binoculars can help Even when using a telescope, a pair of binoculars can help you locate a faint comet or other faint night sky object quite quickly Once you know where to look, you can point your telescope in the right direction very easily Have a ‘relaxed’ eye for viewing Try not to squeeze one eye shut when you are viewing through an eyepiece with your other eye Covering your eye with a hand is better, leaving the eye open and ‘relaxed’ whilst observing with your other eye A telescope needs to be at the same temperature as you are viewing - you can start viewing straight away with a telescope if it is stored properly Taking a telescope from a warm room into the cold of a night may cause the air to ’wobble’ affecting your view of an object - allow about 20 minutes for the telescope to cool to the same temperature as outside to overcome this problem (This is especially important if you are trying to take photographs) Keep a record of what you see Over a period of time, an interesting record can be made of what you have seen. This might be a list of the Messier Catalogue seen or an eclipse… Averted vision This technique is used when viewing a faint object at the limit of the eye’s ability to detect the object Keep practising this as your brain keeps wanting you to look directly at the object in order to see it - but look just to the side and you’ll see it! https://www.starlearner.com/topten daily 0.75 2018-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1538576205682-D8X1JGTT2STAXEGVUSDQ/App+1.jpg topten https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1538576213354-HI51DWHTUD4WRQX46ZQI/App+2.jpg topten https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1538576249162-HCSUTAXCCW6M7S8U0UME/App+3.jpg topten https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1538576277642-QXPPHBG1VKIQG1AXLDXN/App+4.jpg topten https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1538576291328-5A8TBJHSSLPXWHR51YNW/App+5.jpg topten https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1538576317406-Q2OFXJIM09J610C3G6K6/App+6.jpg topten https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1538576352372-SXXW0TFUM5S13XZJL3WC/App+7.jpg topten https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1538576380390-GEKRAVDS0SRTQIFG3EUP/App+8.jpg topten https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1538576392549-SLMGKIY2OO53MF3VZPIS/App+9.jpg topten https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1538576410172-8BCY523YWK7ULIWW2DK8/App+10.jpg topten https://www.starlearner.com/meteor-showers daily 0.75 2019-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1549459275589-5GWUZAALERD3JSVWHSZM/Leonids.jpg New Page Picture credit : Nigel Evans © 1999 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1549458443358-4WVGCUDLC9E9RUXO7EFR/Meteors.jpg New Page Chart showing the best meteor showers in a year (there are many other smaller showers) https://www.starlearner.com/new-page daily 0.75 2019-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1549464659940-9LC72DY70L42SFWX1NJ2/Jupiter%27s+moons.jpg New Page Picture credits : Stellarium Jupiter and its 4 Galilean Moons over several nights https://www.starlearner.com/jupiter-moons daily 0.75 2021-11-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1549466841892-OI2GWAC4484ELL3CA9Y1/Jupiter%27s+moons.jpg Jupiter's Moons Picture credit : Stellarium https://www.starlearner.com/comets daily 0.75 2019-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1549471071716-BCS7NFU8O5GB4QLUA47M/Hartley.jpg Comets Comet Hartley 2 - image taken using the Faulkes Telescope in Hawaii https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1549480185539-3KQEDP2IIFO4V77TX0VU/07-04-a.jpg Comets Picture credit : www.cortinastelle.it https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1549472249176-I7T4XIC62YA2MQ1KIJLV/hyakutake2.jpg Comets Picture credit : Philip Blanco https://www.starlearner.com/mercury-venus daily 0.75 2020-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1549632732376-CZ4QUHX8A5Y8TCOPRW44/Mercury-Venus.jpg Viewing Mercury and Venus https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1549635189642-QVKZ2EQM65SBAA4N73D8/Mercury+-+rule+of+thumb.jpg Viewing Mercury and Venus https://www.starlearner.com/saturn-rings daily 0.75 2019-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1549626962170-6DQL3D7AK7UHQHA4DIFC/Saturn.jpg Saturn's Rings - Views of Saturn with different instruments TOP BINOCULAR VIEW MIDDLE 4” REFLECTOR BOTTOM 15” REFLECTOR https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1549628274129-RFIPZUYNETQW90C3WP1G/saturnseasons_hubble_960.jpg Saturn's Rings Picture credit : R.G.French (Wellesley College) et al - NASA - ESA - The Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA) https://www.starlearner.com/apollo-missions daily 0.75 2021-11-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1560590595388-53F3SQHIU79VXRUNF7X0/a.jpg Apollo Missions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1561042988307-G0ZEIA8PTFYOWVVWBRWG/a1c.jpg Apollo Missions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1561066464507-47LV6KHG4QL0ZL1SWNDK/image.png Apollo Missions - Thank you to all the Apollo team Wonderful memories!

Underneath the canister is a ‘mailbox’ built of arched cardboard, which was covered by a plastic bag CapCom Joe Kerwin led Astronaut Swigert, step by step, for an hour to build a contraption like the one the experts had constructed on Earth. It involved stripping the hose from a lunar suit and rigging the hose to the taped-over command module double canister, using the suit's fan to draw carbon dioxide from the cabin through the canister and expel it back into the lunar module as pure oxygen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1560959855304-E6JHW7VJC4D664BDGPGU/image.png Apollo Missions - From near disaster to glorious triumph! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1560677759550-040RU3Y9A74JCMPLROT1/a10.jpg Apollo Missions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b58701529711455f77c1007/1560677888975-E5BC8OWRBA1BOJDCP8CW/a10a.jpg Apollo Missions - So close to the lunar surface – just 15km away but the Lunar Module ‘Snoopy’ could not land on the trial run.
