There was a very nice auroral display in the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, area on Thursday evening. I was at the ASH Naylor Observatory near Lewisberry for much of it but I could see red sheets in the east as I drove along light polluted I-83 on the way there. After I arrived at the observatory a stunning coronal arc was visible at approximately 00:15 UT. Unfortunately, it subsided before I could get my camera set up but I did go through a roll of 800 speed film before activity ended about 45 minutes later. During that time we saw rays, curtains, and isolated patches colored red, green, and white. Most of the red patches appeared in the northern sky. At one point the aurora streched from the eastern to the western horizon.

What an aurora!!! My friends, Joe Cseh, Mike Dzubaty,Steve Borer and I observed a beautiful red and green aurora from 6:30-8:00 PM. At the beginning, we saw big red streamers. Later, a red glow covered the sky all the way to a little past Mars in the southern sky. The green part of the aurora mostly hugged the northern horizon and there were also occasional green streamers also. We also saw a bright blue white colored meteor. All in all, a perfect night.

Tonight, after the skies finally cleared, my friend, Joe Cseh and I went to a local field to try to observe the northern lights. There was a green aurora in the northern horizon that pulsed towards and away from us for an hour or so. There were no red colors with it. After an hour, the aurora faded away.

On Friday night Tony Donnangelo, Bob Pody, John Symborski, and I successfully observed the periodic comet 2P/Encke through a 14.5" Starmaster SkyTracker Dob from Campsite 52 in western Perry County, Pennsylvania. This comet was one of the dimmest that I've ever seen and it was only through Tony Donnangelo's painstaking efforts that we were able to view it. It was not even visible until it was close to the zenith and certainly was not remotely as bright as the 11.6 magnitude figure predicted by the IAU ephemeris (seehttp://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/Ephemerides/Comets/0002P_1.html forthat information). We also observed Comets LINEAR T7 and LINEAR-NEAT HT50, LINEAR T7 being the easiest of the three to detect. Three asteroids and a multitude of deep-sky objects, including B33 (the Horsehead Nebula) and some great galaxy groups in Pisces, were seen as well. Muted pinks in the wings of M42 and shades of blue and green near the Trapezium were clearly evident.

One of the objects that I observed on Wednesday night with the 17" f/15 classical Cassegrain (162x) at the ASH Naylor Observatory near Lewisberry, PA, was Nova Sagittarii 2003 Number 2. This new nova, if you'll pardon the pun, was discovered by Nick Brown on September 19th and is located at R.A. = 18h10m10.42s, Declination. = -27d45'35.2". Using the AAVSO finder chart and the second edition of the Uranometria 2000.0 (page 145) I was able to locate the nova at approximately 01:00 UT just to the east of a distinctive arrow-shaped asterism. Bob Young, an ASH member who is an experienced variable star observer, felt that the nova was shining at approximately 9.3 magnitude.For further information on this nova see http://www.aavso.org/publications/newsflash/sp7.shtml and http://www.aavso.org/news/nsgr032.shtml

IC 1296 is approximately 4' NW of M57. This 1.3' sized spiral galaxy was quite faint even with 30 inches of aperture. I was unable to see it the next night using a 14.5" Starmaster. IC 1296 lies within a diamond of field stars and is displayed rather nicely at http://www.highenergyastro.com/m57.html and http://user.mc.net/arf/m57.htm

I observed IC 4617, the dim Index Catalogue spiral galaxy near M13, for the first time through Tom Whiting's new 30" Dob at Cherry Srings State Park two days before the start of the Black Forest Star Party. M13 was fantastic at 388x and at 11.6 magnitude the spiral NGC 6207 seemed extremely bright through the large aperture. IC 4617 is situated 14.4' NNE of M13, approximately halfway between NGC 6207 and M13, and seemed rather small at 1.2' x 0.4' but not particularly difficult to see. It appeared as a tiny, circular, non-stellar object. An image of IC 4617 is available at http://www.justjim.com/ctsp/

After a big thunder storm, a huge rainbow appeared high in the sky. I put on polarized sun glasses to see the details. The rainbow had all the colors in it and it had a detatched band of pink. This means it was a supernumery rainbow. The polarized sun glasses also allowed me to have a complete view of the secondary rainbow above the primary. The highlight of the view was when a huge zig zag lightning streak appeared with the rainbow. Polarized sun glasses are a great way to observe near sky astronomical objects.

A group of fellow ASH members and I saw a rather odd looking "cloud" from the Naylor Observatory last night between approximately 1:50 and 2:30 UT. First noticed low in the southwest it moved rapidly northeastward. Through binoculars and a 5" f/5 finder scope the object initially appeared to be roughly triangular with a somewhat condensed head. Later I viewed it with our 12.5" Newtonian and 17" classical Cassegrain. The speed of the cloud was striking. I noticed a bifurcated tail through the large telescopes. The cloud became increasingly more difficult to see after it passed beneath Arcturus.A satellite was launched that evening by an Atlas 5 (see http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/atlas5_launch_030717.html ). We assumed that the cloud was the result of an orbital fuel dump by that the upper stage of that vehicle. As it turned out this was the case.

My friend, Joe Cseh and I, along with his daughter Emily and grand daughter Asa took a walk on the beach. It was getting dark, when we looked up and saw Noctilucent clouds in the sky. They were white tendrils with a bluish tinge to them. There was also regular high clouds up there that were moving slowly towards us. The noctilucent clouds remained completely stationary for twenty minutes before they disipated.

This evening, I attatched my Star Spectroscope in order to inspect the spectrums of the stars Antares and Altair. The orange star Antares has four spectral lines that I can see easily. By seeing four spectral lines and looking at its color, you can see this is a low temperature star that is close to the end of its life. In fact, I would say Antares is ready to join Betelgeuse in hospice. On the other hand, The bluish white star Altair shows only two spectral lines. This means Altair's temperature is much hotter than Antares. Accordingly, we will give Altair a clean bill of health.

Using the 17" f/15 classical Cassegrain at the ASH Naylor Observatory I observed some binary stars on Wednesday and Thursday nights last week along with Jupiter and Mars (on Wednesday) and a number of bright extended deep-sky objects (M11, M26, M22, M28, M21, M17, M16, M18, M23, M24, M25, M8, M20, M4, M10, M12, M14, M19, M27, and M57 on Wednesday night and M100, M99, M98, M66, and M65 on Thursday night). The transparency was poor but with the way the weather has been so far this spring one has to take what one gets. I used magnifications of 162, 202, and 259x. Struve 1835 in Bootes was quite nice. Also observed were Cor Caroli, 24 Comae Berenices, 2 Comae Berenices, and 39 Bootis. For those of you who haven't seen it before 24 Com is an excellent binary. In fact, some call it the Spring Albireo due to its similar contrasting colors. Last night (Monday) the transparency deteriorated rapidly. In addition to observing the young cresent moon, Jupiter, and a few extended deep-sky objects (M13, NGC 6210, and M57) I bagged Zeta Coronae Borealis (162 and 202x), which is a splendid double star. It consists of a blue 5.0 magnitude B8 primary and a 6.0 magnitude comes separated by 6.3" at a position angle of 305 degrees.

Tonight, the coronal mass ejection from the sun delivered a very nice northern lights display for about 20 minutes. There was one streamer that had both red and greens in it. It lasted about five minutes before it faded. A second sreamer formed and it lasted about a minute. This streamer was red. During the height of the aurora, the scattered clouds had a pink glow on them. Also, low in the northern horizon, there were pulses of white light flashing like lightning.

Its parent galaxy NGC 3169 and nearby NGC 3166, both Herschel 400 spiral galaxies, were easily seen. SN 2003cg was located within the glow of NGC 3169 - see http://messier45.com/cgi-bin/h400/i.cgi?n=3169&d=GX - making a sighting somewhat difficult. The supernova is situated 14" east and5" north of NGC 3169's nucleus. An 11.3 magnitude field star lies almost due east.

This evening, I attached my Star Spectroscope to my six inch dob so I could observe the stars Arcturus and Spica. In my dob, Spica has a bluish tinge to it while Spica is bright yellow in my dob. This shows that Spica is the hotter of both stars. However, My Star Spectroscope shows Spica to be very much hotter than Arcturus. With Arcturus, I can easily see its hydrogen line. I can't see any spectral lines in Spica. This means Spica is an extremely hot star. The hotter a star, the harder it is to see spectral lines in the star. The spectroscope thus shows that Spica is very much hotter than Arcturus.

This evening, I decided to attatch my Star septroscope to my dob so I could observe the star Aldebaran. In my scope, Aldebaran has a yellow orange tint to it indicating it to be a fairly cool star. However, in the spetroscope, Aldebaran shows five spectral lines, meaning it is very cool. The more spectral lines a star shows, the cooler the star is. Two of the lines appear to be hydrogen lines. The remaining three lines appeared to be one sodium, one magnesium and possibly one iron line. What this all shows is Aldebaran getting pretty close to the end of its life. I also observed Saturn and Jupiter. With Saturn so close now, I was able to make out two or possibly three belts on its southern hemisphere. I also was able to see the Encke division on both the right and left sides of its rings. Jupiter had festoons on its North equitorial belt. Also, two of its moons were so close together, they looked like a close double star.

After I finished viewing Jupiter and Saturn, I attached my star spectroscope to my 6" dob so I could observe the stars Sirius and Procyon. In my scope,Sirius is a white star and Procyon is a yellow star, which means Sirius is the hotter of the two stars. In the spectroscope, Sirius shows a bright hydrogen band and a bright molecular band. Procyun only shows a hydrogen band. This shows that both of our near neighbors are happily gliding along in the main sequence of their lives.

On a bitterly cold Tuesday evening I watched the passes of the STS-113 and the ISS from a baseball field near my residence and was richly rewarded for my, ahem, endeavor. The Space Shuttle appeared first in the northwest sometime after 23:08 UT and raced across the sky towards the bowl of the Little Dipper. The ISS was 41 seconds behind the Endeavor, which entered the earth's shadow in the north and disappeared at 23:12 UT. During the event I followed both spacecraft with my unaided eyes and a Celestron Noble 8x42 binocular. Two much dimmer objects crossed the sky in opposite directions a few minutes later. I believe they were Cosmos 1908, which traveled from the north to the south southeast, and Cosmos 1703, which tracked from the south southeast to the north northeast. They passed by each other at approximately 23:18 UT.While I was enjoying the great outdoors, I also turned my binocular gaze towards M45, Melotte 20, M31, M33, M15, M34, M103, Albireo, Omicron Cygni, and finally a zenith hugging M39.The sky was rather transparent. I was pleasantly suprised to be able to detect M33, however dimly, despite the ever increasing light pollution in the area.

After our snowstorm ended, I collected and then melted the snow so I could run a strong magnet in the water to collect meteor dust. Since this storm happened about 9 days after the Leonid shower, I wanted to see what the dust looked like in a 100x microscope. At 100x, the dust had a fuzzy and linty look about it. The colors of each speck were a combination of black, yellow and orange.This compares to other times when the dust looks like black mini rocks. This sample was about 60% black particles and about 40% fuzzy black, yellow and orange particles. Usually the ratio is 90% to 10%.

Last night, I attatched my star spectroscope to my 6" dob so I could study two stars, Betelgeuse and Rigel. Betelgeuse's yellow orange color shows it to be a cool star, but the star spectroscpe shows how really cool the star is. I was able to see six absorbtion lines through the spectroscope. Two of the lines were hydrogen lines and there was one line each of magnesium,sodium and iron. I also saw an oxigen line but I think it was from our own planets atmosphere. The fact that six lines could be seen shows how cool Betelgeuse is and how near the end of its life Betelgeuse is. I then turned to Rigel. This stars bluish tinge shows Rigel to be a hot star, but once again the star spetroscope shows how really hot rigel is. The spectroscope showed no absorbtion lines at all. This shows that Rigel is so hot, that absorbtion lines are impossible to detect in my spectroscope. This shows that Betelgeuse and Rigel really are at the opposite ends of the spectrom.

One of the many deep-sky objects that Tony Donnangelo and I observed while at this remote dark sky site was the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Andromeda II. Through Tony's Starmaster at 83 (22mm Tele Vue Nagler type 4) and 107x (17mm Tele Vue Nagler type 4) this member of the Local Group was small, round, and rather dim.

The 2002 Black Forest Star Party at Cherry Springs State Park (seehttp://members.aol.com/CherrySpSP/ andhttp://www.bfsp.org/starparty/about.cfm) in Potter County,Pennsylvania, was one of the very best of the many star parties I'veattended over the years, rivalling the 1995 Winter Star Party in manyways. I made the slightly more than three hour drive to the park onWednesday and stayed until Monday afternoon. Each night was clear although the transparency was a bit better in the latter nights while good seeing prevailed earlier.There were so many highlights that I don't have time to list them allat the moment but I will mention a few. Without a doubt themagnificent auroral display on Saturday night was the clear winner. As seen from the dark skies of CSSP the aurora was the brightest andmost lively that I've ever witnessed, although the red hues that werevisible were not as vivid as those of the April 2000 display. The shimmering curtains and blazing rays that resembled searchlights sweeping the sky painted a most compelling picture. The aurora borealis first appeared as an arclike band in the northern sky sometime after sunset. By 01:45 UT the display began in earnest and motion became apparent as curtains formed. Suddenly extremely bright rays erupted, reaching almost to the zenith and spreading westward and to a lesser degree eastward. There were occasional isolated patches in the east. The aurora almost merged with the Milky Way at times. Activity eventually diminished but there was a constant glow in the northern sky. Around 5:30 UT a second but lesser wave of activity commenced. Digicam images of the aurora from CSSP regulars Gary Honis and Nick Zeller can be seen at http://freepages.science.rootsweb.com/~astro/090702.htm and http://users.adelphia.net/~nzallar/ (CSSP Reports). Images from around the world are available at http://science.nasa.gov/spaceweather/aurora/gallery_07sep02.html.I caught a glimpse of the gravitationally lensed quasar known asEinstein's Cross thanks to Dave Barrett's vast deep-sky knowledge andhis 24" Tectron.Uranus was a relatively easy naked-eye target. I viewed it each andevery night and showed it to many other observers. I also added twomore naked-eye Messier objects to my list - M33 (finally!) and M35.I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Horsehead Nebula (B33) through fellowDVAA member Scott Ewart's 13.1" Coulter on Sunday morning. This wasthe smallest aperture through which I've logged B33. In all, I saw B33through Scott's scope, fellow ASH member Tony Donnangelo's brand new14.5" Starmaster, Frank Bov's award winning 20" ATM Dob, the 20"Starmaster belonging to Gary Honis (with and without a H-beta filter,believe it or not), and Dave Barrett's 24" Tectron.On Sunday morning the Merope Nebula in M45 was clearly visible througha number of different instruments and M42 displayed colors ofblue-white, green, brown, and muted pinks through several of thelarger Dobs.In closing, I must add that the views of the sun through DVAA memberJim Sweeney's binoviewer equipped 7.1" Astro-Physics Starfire and his new 0.2 Angstrom ASO Solar Spectrum H-alpha filter were simply unbelievable. Prominences near the limb took on a three dimensional appearance and filaments were displayed far better than I've ever experienced.

One of the more interesting objects that I observed under the very dark skies of Cherry Springs State Park last Thursday night was a recent type 1a supernova in NGC 7678, a 12.2 magnitude SAB(rs)c I-IIgalaxy located in Pegasus. With a magnitude of 15.1 to 15.5 SN2002dp was by far the dimmest exploding star that I have ever viewed. I could discern the supernova about 1/3 of the time with averted vision through an 18" Starmaster at high magnification.

Rho Ophiuchi is a triple star very close to Anteres. At 48x the main componant star has a blue white tinge to it. One of its fainter componants seems to be a bluish colored star. The other fainter componant appears to be yellow. The triple star can even be split in 10x50 binaculars, with a little difficulty. To find this star in binaculars, simply put Anteres at the bottom of the field and Rho Ophiuchi will be just above the middle of the field.
