香港天文學會歷史

1959   溫威廉和我( 馮以浤)同住香港大學聖約翰學院。一晚,威廉跟宿舍一位名叫江景雲的醫科學生閒談時,發現他是天文學大內高手。景雲來自英皇書院。他不但對天文學有高深的認識,還會自製天文望遠鏡。他的望遠鏡長1公尺多些,反射鏡的直徑15公分。這發現使我們大為興奮,決定籌組天文學會,由景雲做主席,威廉當秘書。成立大會於1959年3月一個晚上在主樓地下一個課室舉行。  梅窩宿營。前排左起:鄭肇楨、張振國、游順釗;中排:溫威廉、馬翹生、馮以浤、歐榮生、蔡金源;後排:單澤銘、李作鴻。照片是吳永炘拍的。 廖慶齊在1961至1971年間於皇仁書院任教,並成立全港首個中學天文學會。自1966年,廖先生擔任香港大學校外天文課程導師 1969 中文大學新亞天文學會成立NAAC ( 成立後有數年沒有定期活動) 1971 照片是1971年11月15日,香港業餘天文學會(HKAAU)籌委會的幾位成員, 帶備多枝大小型的天文望遠鏡, 到南丫島遙遠的青年旅舍, 為參加者主講天文講座及教導觀星. 這批天文同好是香港大學校外課程部, 由廖慶齊先生主講的天文班的學員. 他們自己辦了觀星活動, 但沒有天文望遠鏡, 向參加天文班的HKAAU的成員提起, 當然義不容辭鼎力支持. 後來該班的成員, 組成了香港第二個公開天文會社----坐井會. 1971: 香港天文學會 成立 1972: 坐井會 成立 1977: 市政局主辦 自製天文儀 器比賽 1978 市政局康文署舉辦 自制天文望遠鏡班 1980年香港 太空館 10月開幕  1970- 1989 who's who   198x 年 坐井會舉辦天文望遠鏡製作班(關耀平是其中的導師) 2002 星河科研社 不定期辦望遠鏡制作班 2015 港府開始推行 QEF 資助計劃 2019 最後一屆太空館 自制天文望遠鏡班   2020 5月因疫情 太空館臨時關閉 至 21年6月 LCSD history timeline Masterinsight   HkAS   坐井會 2 。 HKMU 本地望遠鏡 天文台位置 1950年代或之後, 香港可見日蝕

Bracket 0.3EV 3 Image) 5: DRO/Auto HDR: Off  6: High ISO NR: low ( Actually dimmed/ not selectable) 8: Auto Slow Shut.: Off Setup Tab : 3: USB connection: PC Remote USB LUN Setting: Multi Sony cameras are picky on USB cable.  Camera will display always " Connecting... USB", no matter which type of USB cable is connected!!!, But not all USB cables work Astroberry INDI: Presets: 1/10 ( or any value less than 1) (indi-3rdparty, indi-gphoto, gphoto-driver.cpp) wait until Expose Indicator turns to  yellow.  minimize control panel. use EKOS as usual.  note: You cannot set the shutter speed to [BULB] in the following situations: When the [Smile Shutter] function is activated. When the [Auto HDR] function is activated. When [Picture Effect] is set to [HDR Painting] or [Rich-tone Mono.]. When the [Multi Frame NR] function is activated. When the...

GSO 200mm f/4 newtonian OTA

spec: Primary mirror: 200 mm, coated 197mm, 1.9 kg, glass thickness 27mm mirror with cell: 2.8 kg primary mirror: focal ratio: f/4 mirror to inner wall 13.5 mm mirror face to back of tube : 50 mm secondary: 63mm nom. (minor axis). Minimum required is 54 mm tube 230 mm outer OTA: 8.5 kg, including lock rings and dovetail, length 730mm nom. as 100% illumination is around 9.3mm, this configuration is mainly for visual. of course won't stop you to go  for astrophoto, with appropriate sizing of secondary, eg 73mm(minor axis)    The mirror has some minor polishing marks at 70% radius, at r =14 cm, width 1 cm i guess those are left behind from figuring it to parabola Slight hill at centre, radius 5 cm coating is a bit opaque, guess it is over 20 years ago. 80 to 85% reflectivity Focuser: JMI 2 inch, with motorfocus , jmi2 secondary holder:   collimation: not easy, but do-able first make alignment by visual, then use the laser collimator. btw it's a test of laser colli...

月落 凌霄閣

From York Tam post on Facebook: 1. get peak tower info: 淩霄閣 peak tower co-ordinate from google maps: 22.2712357,114.1499638 height: 428 m (389m ?) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_Tower 2. get  approximate photo location distance:  distance from google map: 8300 km approx azimuth is calculated to be ~ 2.94 deg above horizon (top of 2 tower) 3. use mooncalc date and time:  6 Sep 2022 00:56 HKT 4 use this vincenty calculation for more accurate positioning: which gives this location :      22.3104181° N      114.2186257° E (assuming mooncalc 's moon azimuth is correct, convert to its back angle, ie 58.47 degrees) Using planit: so these different approaches have a discrepancy of 100 to 200 metres.(ellipsoid model WGS84 ok?)  suggestions:   -calibration day: do some site survey to verify the co-ordinates, and if location is suitable, a few days or week before. better to have some landmarks for aligning the camera, eg corner...
