The LX850 Telescope

New Scope

May 8 2013, dumating na daw ang bagong scope ng RTU kaya ayun! agad naman akong pumunta ng school nung umagang yun. napaWOW din ako kasi nga malaki yung scope! puwede ng magkaroon ng observatory ang RTU kaya nakakatuwang balita yun sa amin mga astronomy students... :)

Aperture: 365mm (14'')
Focal Length: 2845mm

nang mabasa ko yung mga uses niya, ayun nakakatuwa kasi nga good for astro imaging yung scope, may possibility na puwede na rin kami magkaroon ng live stream public viewing, at magkaroon ng mga astro images na mga students and faculty ng RTU ang kumuha! :) nakakaexcite talaga gamitin ang scope na bago... hindi na nga kami makapaghintay para itry ang bagong scope! :)

MicroObservatory

Online Telescope

Finally! natuto rin akong gamitin ang shift sa MicroObservatory software! :) ang paggamit ng shift is nagaalign ka ng objects para kapag na stack siya via RGB(red blue green photos) na nakunan mo gamit ang scope sa MicroObservatory, ay maganda ang kalalabasan.

Space Junk or Satellite?

Unknown?

Most of us don't know kung ano nga ba meron doon sa video na nakuha namin nila Jonah Inguito and Jeroh Hiyastro during our overnight observation noong November 2012. Nung una sabi ko pa kay Jonah na lamok lang yan siguro, pero impossibleng maging lamok ang nasa video, kasi ang scope ay nakafocus lamang sa Moon. Noong makita namin ulit si Sir  Bamm isa sa mga professor namin sa astronomy, pinaka kita namin yung video which is di niya rin malaman kung ano iyong nakunan namin, then Sir bamm called up Ms. Roch para mapakita yung video, then Ms. Roch also called for Sir Custer, this three persons can't event tell to us what it is? So nagoffer ng help is Sir bamm to check kung Satellite or Space junk ang nakunan namin. after 1 day, Sir bamm message me via facebook regarding about the video, he said na ang nasa video ay hindi Satellite, may possibility daw na Space Junk yun, pero sabi niya rin sa akin na almost a month na daw kasi ang video, puwede daw kasing magbago ang data ng mga Satellites. In short until now hindi namin masabi kung ano yung nasa video.
