Tweedledee Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Just bought a nice new, well 13 year old, secondhand book, that so far is proving a delightful read and was less than a fiver on Amazon "The Turtle and the Stars - Observations of an Earthbound Astronomer" by Arthur Upgren, senior research scientist at Yale University Astronomy Dept., among other professorships. Starts with an introduction entitled, "Dark Skies: A right, Not a Privilege", which sets the tone for his views of the wonders of the universe in this fairly nontechnical book. I found this book while searching for information on his asterism, Upgren 1, in Canes Venatici, which in itself makes an interesting read. Google it, and get your bins or scope on this dying open cluster, which is easy to find like a little jewel box in a relatively barren region of sky.

Daz Type-R Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Have a look at these threads, to keep costs down we would prefer it if people hosted their pictures off the forum, using Flicker, dropbox, photo bucket etc, some guides here..... Dropbox. http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/9294-how-to-share-images-from-dropbox/ Flicker. http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/7354-how-to-share-images-from-flickr/ I will work on a photobucket one at some point also.
