Astronomy Links and Info

Clear Dark Sky  Gives information regarding the predicted “seeing” conditions for the night.  You can get forcasts for many locations.  Below is the info for the Atlanta area.

This Weeks Sky at a Glance  provided by Sky & Telescope gives a great sumary of things to look for this week.  Also includes a roundup of the planet locations and status.  Sky & Telescope’s website is full of information about astronomy in general.  Maybe someone could buy me a subscription for Christmas? 😉

Light pollution map If you are like me, this will make you sad.   This link takes you to a map of light polution for the Atlanta area.   It is obvious why the stars have dissapeared. If you want to see light pollution for other areas, check out www.lightpollution.it

Sky Maps  You can print from www.skymaps.com .   You can also buy maps and such there.

This Month’s Star Chart from www.telescope.com.  They also have a community page  with basic astronomy information about telescopes, equipment, and night skies, including a summary for the month.

And lastly, a posting about a faint reflection  . . .
