Today's Astro Trivia Question
by Chuck Hards 19 May '15

19 May '15

Who can identify this item, and what it was used for? Rich is disqualified because we've already discussed it privately. http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/JethroTull1958/ATM/Observer20001_zp… Good luck!

How about a moon scope for use in navigation (getting the position of the moon to use in determining longitude)? The scales don't really look fine enough for doing that with a lot of precision. John

Hi Folks, Some low-budget H-a photos from yesterday and today (these are left-to-right reversed): May 10 Full Disk and Proms <http://user.xmission.com/%7Ejohncraig/astrogoo/solarpics/PromsAndFace/2015-…> May 10 Center to Trailing Limb <http://user.xmission.com/%7Ejohncraig/astrogoo/solarpics/PromsAndFace/2015-…> May 11 Full Disk and Proms <http://user.xmission.com/%7Ejohncraig/astrogoo/solarpics/PromsAndFace/2015-…> May 11 Center to Trailing Limb <http://user.xmission.com/%7Ejohncraig/astrogoo/solarpics/PromsAndFace/2015-…> Not as dramatic as the amazingly high and wide prom group from late April, but pretty decent arcs today too. Hope you get to take a look (if you've got the gear). John

Hi Folks, I haven't had a chance to look today, but that same group from Dave's photo had a lot of activity visible in H-a yesterday. (Too much going on yesterday for me to have time to put the word out.) Glad for the recent rain, but some clear sky is nice too! John

Thanks, Joe. First time I’ve been able to photograph anything all week. It’s been overcast and raining the whole time I’ve been off. Bummer. I go back to work, tomorrow, so no imaging until June. Weekends are iffy when I’m on-call. Dave
