Atalaia, 01 de Outubro

Nesta altura, as noites já são suficientemente longas e todos já regressaram aos afazeres normais. Foi assim que este encontro na …

Atalaia, 23 de Julho

Este ano de 2011 não tem sido pródigo em fins de semana propícios à observação. Muitos dos observadores habituais adoptaram actividades não observacionais na área da astronomia; outros operam equipamentos remotamente; outros ainda enveredaram por vertentes mais  técnicas como a fotometria ou a espectroscopia. De tudo isto resulta menor afluência de observadores. A Atalaia não …

Delta Scorpii – Dia 5, 2 de Julho

Last night the wind was absolutely calm at the beginning of the astronomical night and stood calm all night. The “calima” was back, denser than before.

The wind speed did not exceed 15 km/hour and we could make the spectra of Delta Scorpii,in Helium II and Halpha, of 66 Ophiuchi, of Pi Aquarii and there were still 40 minutes for MWC342. The equipment works now correctly. We managed to have the installation of the …
