Amateur Astronomy Sky this Week ending 2009-11-07

From: SkyThisWeek | November 02, 2009 | 301 views

Full moon edition this week, just sun, moon, planets, and the spacestation. A number of good early evening transits of the great red spot on Jupiter and a couple moon transits (Io and Ganymede) this week. Mars rises earlier and getting slowly brighter. Larger features showing up on planetary images now, should to pick up some faint blotches in the eyepiece. I'll expand coverage of Mars shortly. Venus is rising later each day and will disappear into the solar glare in a couple weeks. It will reappear in the evening sky in January.

Weekly videos describing current objects that may be viewed with telescopes by amateur astronomers from their own backyards or preferably from a nearby dark sky location.

Selection of objects is arbitrary. In general it includes celestial objects less than 12th magnitude that are within range of 10 to 12 inch telescopes.

More coverage is given to dark sky objects during new moon and third quarter phases. The moon is given emphasis during 1st and 2nd quarter phases.

Preference is given to objects viewable during early evening hours.

Suggestions for improvements, criticism, etc are welcome.

	BasketballDX (3 months ago) I would like to thank you for all the work you put into these videos. I loved the last one, it was very informative. You help me every week. The only thing is, I'm kind of confused about right ascension and declination. You would help me so much if you were to tell me. I'm only 13 years old and I have dreams of becoming an astronomer, maybe I could be the next Messier or Galileo. With these videos, you're helping keep my interest and keep me on the right track. Thank you sooo much!

	ar5281ar (6 months ago) heavy chemtrail action in s.e.wisconsin, blocked out the skies for two days now! was also wondering, i have these "stars" that are lower to the horizon and shine sharply green/brite/red. i call them "stars" because i have one that moves in the opposite direction of all the others. these are not aircraft in anyway and are the only ones in the sky with that color and flash. i have spotted at least 4 in my skies at once and they are always the lowest on the horizon, do you know what they are?
	linutas (6 months ago) breally big thanks for skythisweek video! KEEP IT UP!
