What surrounds a hotbed of star formation?

In the case of the
Orion Nebula -- dust.

The
entire Orion field, located about 1600
light years away, is inundated with intricate and
picturesque filaments of dust.

Opaque to visible light,
dust is created in the outer atmosphere of massive
cool stars and expelled by a strong outer wind of particles.

The Trapezium and other forming star clusters are embedded in the nebula.

The intricate filaments of dust surrounding
M42 and
M43 appear brown in the
above image, while central glowing gas is highlighted in red.

Over the next few million years much of
Orion's dust will be slowly destroyed by the very stars now being formed, or dispersed into the Galaxy.

Which attracts your eye more -- the sky or the ground?

On the ground are rocky peaks in
Teide National Park on
Tenerife Island of the
Spanish
Canary Islands off the northwestern coast of
Africa.

The
volcanic landscape features old island summits and
is sometimes used as a testbed for instruments on
future Martian rovers.

The lights of a nearby hotel shine on the far left.

Storm clouds are visible on the horizon, artificially strutted from multiple exposures.

Dividing the sky, across the middle of the above deep image, is the
vertical band of the
Milky Way Galaxy.

The red circle on the right is
Barnard's Loop,
near the center of which are the famous
belt stars of the
constellation Orion.

Soon after the above image was taken, during an evening earlier this year,
storm clouds rolled across, and
indoor locations
began to attract eyes the most.

The Great Nebula
in Orion, also known as M42, is one of the
most famous nebulas in the sky.

The star forming region's glowing gas clouds and hot young stars
are on the right in this sharp and colorful image that includes the smaller
nebula M43
near center and dusty, bluish reflection nebulae
NGC 1977 and friends on the left.

Located at the edge of an otherwise invisible
giant molecular
cloud complex,
these eye-catching nebulae represent only a small
fraction of this galactic neighborhood's wealth of
interstellar material.

Within the well-studied stellar nursery, astronomers have also
identified what appear to be numerous
infant solar systems.

The gorgeous skyscape spans nearly two degrees or about 45
light-years
at the Orion Nebula's estimated distance of 1,500 light-years.

Product Description
The OIII narrowband filter isolates just the two doubly-ionized oxygen lines (496 and 501nm lines) emitted by planetary and emission nebulae, while blocking the rest of the overall spectrum of light. The result is extreme contrast between the black sky background and the faint photons of OIII light needed for detailed views of the Veil, Ring, Dumbbell, Crescent and Orion nebulae, among other objects. Each filter has an ultra hard, vacuum-deposited coating carefully designed to block all of the visual spectrum ranging from 400 to 700 nm. This eliminates the un-natural colored halos surrounding bright stars common with O III filters of less sophisticated coating technology.Amazon.com Product Description
The Celestron 93623 Narrowband Oxygen III 1.25-inch filter is a remarkable advance for the serious visual observer of emission nebulae. One of the biggest advantages of narrowband filters is that by passing only the light emitted by nebulae, light from artificial sources like street lights is blocked. This allows you to take detailed exposures of nebulas from a suburban location that can rival shots from much darker sites. The Celestron 93623 is made of high quality, solid plane parallel glass.

Without spending a fortune you can get a telescope that will not only satisfy the kids, but the kid in you! Our SkyQuest XT4.5 is a quality telescope, with point-and-view simplicity that makes it easy to use and makes stargazing fun! The optical performance is far and away better than flimsy department store models. Its 4.5" (114mm) mirror, housed in an enameled steel tube, gathers 260% more starlight than a 60mm refractor. More light means you can see a lot more celestial objects in greater detail. In a review of low-cost beginner telescopes, Sky and Telescope (12/05) proclaimed the XT4.5 "The best of the bunch - a solid combination of optics and mechanics." Try it and see for yourself!Amazon.com Review
Amazon.com Review Orion’s Skyquest XT4.5 is the smallest in their Dobsonian line of telescopes that includes the B00020WZB0 XT6 , XT8 , and XT10. Newcomers to the hobby are always surprised at how large amateur telescopes are, but to experienced observers, this XT4.5 is considered a very small scope. Tiny, in fact (It’s so small, astronomers are buying them just because they think they're so cute). Make no mistake, though--the XT4.5 is a full-fledged telescope, and is a serious observing tool that could last you for years.

Your money buys you a lot in this case. Included are a good-quality 4.5" f/8 primary mirror, two eyepieces, a finder, and a CD-ROM with a stripped-down version of The Sky, a software guide to the sky. The scope comes in two cartons. One contains the optical tube, and the other is a flat-packed box containing the base, which you assemble yourself. Orion includes all the hardware and tools you need, and the instructions are well written. Allocate about 30 minutes to assemble and align everything.

See a detailed view of the XT4.5's features

There are a couple of cost-cutting measures. The primary mirror is spherical, not parabolic (this is not likely to affect the views, however). Also, the focuser is plastic. While I’ve never seen one break, plastic focusers are by nature less robust than metal ones. Finally (and this may be the most serious concern of all), the scope is a little short for an adult. The eyepiece is only 3 feet off the ground, which may force you to stoop over (hint: try sitting on a short chair or stool while observing). On the other hand, the height is ideal for a child, and as a result, I heartily recommend this telescope for children.

Under the stars, the XT4.5 exhibits excellent performance. Once properly collimated (aligned), the optics give clear, sharp, contrasty views. I’ve spent enjoyable nights using these telescopes, both as a teaching tool and by myself. Jupiter’s cloud band and four moons are no problem to see, nor are Saturn’s rings. The Orion Nebula is a glowing fan of green gas, with a quartet of tiny stars at its core. Under dark skies (and with some diligence) the XT4.5 can even pull in some of the fainter deep sky objects, like the brighter galaxies in the Virgo Cluster.

Despite the fact that I have a garage full of expensive telescopes, I never feel compromised with any of Orion’s XT scopes. As recently as a few years ago, the old adage regarding telescopes was that you must spend at least $300 to avoid buying junk. While this is still mostly true, Orion’s little XT4.5 breaks the price barrier in a big way. As long as you can deal with the short eyepiece height, it’s a great starter scope.

Pros:

• Very good optical and mechanical performance
• Fully accessorized
• Great value

Cons

• Short eyepiece height
• Plastic focuser

Since the very beginning of astronomy, people have looked up sky and constructed patterns – the constellations – out of the almost random scattering of stars in the night sky. The fact that the constellations are still used to day reflects not their historical origins, but their usefulness in identifying bright stars in the rotating dome of the sky. Most people (and all astronomers) are familiar with, for example, the constellation of Orion and can thus easily point to Betelguese and Bellatrix as being Orion’s "shoulders". It is the pattern made by the constellation that makes them easy to identify.

What applies to big groups of stars can also be applied to smaller ones, and this book provides a set of memorable mini-constellations to help in identifying and remembering stars in the binocular or low magnification telescopic field.

Suitable for observers using binoculars and medium size telescopes, this catalog includes star pictures, dot-to-dot outlines of the objects ( on a negative photograph for clarity ), and an artistic image next to the star patterns. Size, stellar magnitudes, and coordinates are provided, along with north direction, star-hopping instructions & Sky Atlas 2000 references.

There are sixty-seven "pattern asterisms" in this catalog. Most are easy to see in sixty millimetre binoculars, and few are what observers describe as "challenging".

The imaginative observer will surely begin to develop a new insight into star patterns, and will start seeing patterns of his own, under this catalog's influence!

Sculpted by stellar winds and
radiation, a magnificent interstellar dust cloud by
chance has assumed this recognizable shape.

Fittingly named the
Horsehead
Nebula, it is some 1,500 light-years distant,
embedded in the vast
Orion cloud
complex.

About five light-years "tall", the dark cloud is cataloged as
Barnard 33
and is visible only because its
obscuring dust is silhouetted
against the glowing red emission nebula IC 434.

Stars are forming within the dark cloud.

Contrasting blue
reflection nebula NGC 2023, surrounding a hot, young star,
is at the lower left.

Few cosmic vistas excite the imagination like
the Orion Nebula,
an immense stellar nursery some 1,500 light-years away.

Spanning about 40 light-years across the region,
this new infrared image
from the Spitzer Space Telescope was constructed from data intended to
monitor
the brightness of the nebula's young stars, many still surrounded
by dusty, planet-forming disks.

Orion's young stars are only about 1 million years old,
compared to the Sun's age of 4.6 billion years.

The region's hottest stars are found in the
Trapezium Cluster, the brightest cluster
near picture center.

Spitzer's liquid helium

coolant ran out in May 2009,
so this false color view is from two
channels that still remain sensitive to
infrared light
at warmer operating temperatures.

Astronomy is a fascinating hobby, and when you own your own telescope, astronomy takes on a new meaning. Suddenly you get to see the craters on our Moon. You get to see the rings of Saturn, and so much more. As you read this article, you will discover: * Astronomy Basics * Buying Your First Telescope * Getting The Most Out Of Astronomy * Astronomy Basics We live on a planet called Earth. Earth is illuminated by a star - called our Sun. Earth is a planet which has several neighbors. Most of these can be seen in a telescope, for example, Jupiter and Saturn. Even though you don’t need a telescope to get started in astronomy, it can help a lot. There is more to astronomy than simply planets. There are galaxies, other stars, and even nebula and other objects. * Buying Your First Telescope To get the most out of astronomy, you will want to buy a telescope. Buying your first telescope is always fun. You get to explore things which were there all the time, but perhaps didn’t realize such beautiful worlds in there own right. A good telescope can be purchased for a few hundred dollars. These telescopes can help you see the best in the universe, and all from your own backyard! There are many places to buy a telescope from, though finding retail stores that sell these great instruments is not always possible. I have found buying online to be the best way to go. Telescopes come in two main varieties. The first is the reflecting telescopes, and the other is refracting telescopes. With reflecting telescopes, you will find that they utilize a mirror, and are much wider than what most think a telescope is. With refracting telescopes, they are a long thin tube that allows a much easier way to work with. Refracting telescopes are the type of telescope we often think of as a telescope. It was designed by Galileo and not only is it much easier to operate; it lasts longer, because everything is enclosed. The only downside is that they can get expensive for larger sizes, so reflecting telescopes are almost always the best way to go when wanting a larger sized telescope. One point that is of great delight is that telescopes have different versions today. No longer do you need to be an expert navigator of the heavens. Telescope companies such as Meade, Celestron and Orion have GoTo computerized telescopes that are very easy to operate. * Getting The Most Out Of Astronomy To get the most out of astronomy, I can recommend a few items. Though they are not absolutely essential, I feel they are. The reason is simple. Most people buy a telescope, and point it up to the heavens. First they look at the Moon, then a planet, and zoom at whatever object is in the sky. I know I have done it! However, this is not the best way, as soon boredom kicks in. A star atlas, allows you to know where to point. A good practical astronomy book is an absolute must in my opinion because it can help you go from beginner to intermediate telescope user.

It was a sky for the imagination.

In the early evening last week, the sky illuminating the
unaided eye was perhaps
even more illuminating to the mind's eye.

The unaided eye saw clouds framing the
Moon setting over a calm and reflective bay,
spruce trees lining the nearby shores, the Pleiades open star cluster (M45) glowing prominently in the center of the sky, the
Andromeda galaxy hovering just over the horizon on the right, and the
belt stars of Orion lined up on the left,
just below the bright orange star
Betelgeuse.

The bright star Sirius
peeked out of the trees on the far left.

The mind's eye
might further imagine, however, some of the
constellations coming to life, with Orion the Hunter taking up his sword and shield,
followed into battle by his
Big Dog
(Canis Major,
whose right eye is Sirius), and watched from across the sky by
Cassiopeia, the Queen of
Ethiopia, sitting on her Throne.

The above image was taken over
Pleasant Bay,
Maine,
USA,
and digitally merged with constellations from
Uranographicarum, drawn in the 17th century by J. Hevelius.

Put a satellite
in a circular orbit about 42,000 kilometers from the
center of the Earth (36,000 kilometers or so above the surface)
and it will orbit once in 24 hours.

Because that matches Earth's rotation period, it is known as
a geosynchronous orbit.

If that orbit is also in the plane of the equator,
the satellite will hang in the sky over a fixed location in
a
geostationary orbit.

As predicted in the 1940s by futurist
Arthur C. Clark,
geostationary
orbits are in common use
for communication and weather satellites,
a scenario now well-known to astroimagers.

Deep images of the night sky made with telescopes that follow
the stars can also
pick up geostationary
satellites glinting in sunlight still shining
far above the Earth's surface.

Because they all move with the Earth's rotation against the
background of stars, the satellites leave trails that
seem to follow a highway across the celestial landscape.

For example, in this wide view of the nearly equatorial
Orion region,
individual frames were added to create a 10 minute long exposure.

It shows Orion's belt stars and
well-known nebulae along with many
2.5 degree long geostationary satellite trails.

The frames are from an ingenious movie, featuring the
geostationary
satellite highway.

An eerie blue glow and ominous columns of
dark dust highlight M78 and other bright
reflection nebula
in the constellation of Orion.

The dark filamentary
dust not only absorbs light, but also reflects the
light of several bright blue stars that
formed recently in the nebula.

Of the two reflection nebulas
pictured above, the more famous nebula is
M78, in the image center, while
NGC 2071 can be seen to its lower left.

The same type of scattering that colors the
daytime sky further enhances the blue color.

M78
is about five
light-years across and visible through a small telescope.

M78 appears above only as it was
1600 years ago,
however, because that is how long it takes light to go from
there to here.

M78

A jewel of the southern sky,
the Great Carina Nebula, aka NGC 3372,
spans over 300 light-years.

Near the upper right of
this
expansive skycape, it is
much larger than the more northerly
Orion Nebula.

In fact, the Carina Nebula is one of our
galaxy's largest star-forming
regions and home to young, extremely massive stars,
including the still
enigmatic variable Eta Carinae,
a star with well over 100 times the mass
of the Sun.

Nebulae near the center of the 10 degree wide field include
NGC 3576 and
NGC 3603.

Near center at the top of the frame is open star cluster
NGC 3532,
the Wishing Well Cluster.

More compact,
NGC 3766,
the Pearl Cluster, can be spotted at the left.

Anchoring the lower left of the cosmic canvas is another large
star-forming region,
IC 2948 with embedded
star cluster IC 2944.

That region is
popularly known as
the Running

I love bargains, so I was eager to try out Celestron's new Powerseeker 114 Newtonian reflector telescope. With its 4.5-inch mirror, Celestron's Powerseeker 114 gathers three times more starlight than popular 60mm refractors. The Powerseeker package includes two eyepieces (K20 and SR4), a plastic 3x barlow, and a lightweight equatorial mount.

Optically, the Powerseeker 114 holds its own when compared with my Celestron Firstscope 114EQ. Using the K20 eyepiece included as standard equipment, about 45x magnification, it's easy to see the Andromeda Galaxy and its smaller satellite galaxy M32. When compared to 60mm refractors, the Powerseeker 114 brings out much more detail in the Orion Nebula, reveals many more stars in Perseus' Double Cluster and even brings out a few individual stars in globular clusters like M13. Saturn looks quite small at 45x with the K20 eyepiece, but using my own 7.5mm eyepiece (120x) I can easily detect the shadow cast by the planet on the rings, and even glimpse the ring's Cassini Division. When the mirrors are properly lined up or "collimated," the images are reasonably sharp up to magnifications of 225x. I find a collimation tool helps get this fine tuning just right.

As good as the optics are, however, the effect of cost-cutting shows up in the mechanical components. The focuser is plastic, the finder scope is plastic, the rings that attach the telescope to the tripod are plastic. Even when the tripod legs are clamped at their shortest setting, the telescope wobbles when I try to focus at higher magnifications. Celestron's instruction manual correctly recommends that most viewing be done in the range of 40x to 130x. So what about that 675x magnification proclaimed on the box? I'd say it's not worth the trouble.

Overall, the Celestron Powerseeker 114 is a budget priced telescope with good optical performance, especially when using the low power K20 eyepiece. If you're willing to spend a little more money, either Orion's SkyQuest XT4.5 or Celestron's Firstscope 114EQ will give you a sturdier mount, an improved finder scope, and better eyepieces. Also, for about the price of the Powerseeker 114, I like the dependable refractor design of Celestron's Firstscope 70EQ. --Jeff Phillips

Pros:

• Low cost
• Good optics
• Serviceable K20 eyepiece

Cons:

• Wobbly mount
• Difficult to collimate
• Plastic finder and focuser

For many people there first home telescope happens to be a Tasco astronomy telescope. A Tasco astronomy telescope may not be the best astronomy telescope on the market, however, it has allowed people easy entry into the hobby of astronomy and looking at the stars and other space objects.

I remember a Tasco astronomy telescope from Toys R Us. Walking down the isles around the science section, there was a astronomy telescope. I simply had to get it the Tasco astronomy telescope. After all I had a fond interest in seeing the Moon, stars and other space objects.

Having taken the Tasco astronomy telescope home, and pointing the Tasco astronomy telescope to the sky, from my bedroom, it took a bit to get used to. I used the Tasco astronomy telescope for a while, though it just wasn't capable of seeing other planets in any detail or size So, the astronomy telescope got taken back.

I have since found that many people start with a Tasco astronomy telescope, then few years later buy a true astronomy telescope such as Orion, Meade, Celestron. The experience of owning a Tasco astronomy telescope may not be the best but it does allow easy access to start your astronomy hobby.

Tasco astronomy telescopes are considered to be one of the basic most popular first home telescopes for under $100. Tasco astronomy telescope also make rifle scopes. They are easily available in sporting goods, photography, astronomy, department, and big chain stores like Kmart and Wal-Mart.

I usually don't recommend buying a Tasco astronomy telescope, because of its basic parts. A astronomy telescope is a scientific instrument after all, and getting better astronomy telescope parts, will have the effect of giving you many years of happy viewing of the heavens. A Tasco astronomy telescope does have its benefits however. If it is your first home telescope and you don't know if you want to continue the hobby of astronomy, then a Tasco astronomy telescope may be ideal.

If you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a astronomy telescope, then a Tasco astronomy telescope can be ideal. Also a Tasco astronomy telescope is usually small and compact so doesn't need a lot of space when using or to store the astronomy telescope.

Tasco astronomy telescopes are lightweight and can be easily moved around. This is great news for kids, as the astronomy telescope can easily be taken inside or outside with ease. This however is not all good, as a lightweight tripod and mount can make even the slightest breeze move the astronomy telescope out of view of the space object.

A Tasco astronomy telescope is also great for viewing birds and wildlife. This can not be achieved with a powerful astronomy telescope which is designed specifically for astronomy. So a Tasco astronomy telescope could be beneficial if you want to use it for multiple purposes.

The main reasons for buying a Tasco astronomy telescope would be, if you want to keep within a certain budget. If it is your first home telescope, then a powerful astronomy telescope costing several hundred dollars or even possibly several thousand dollars, may not be an avenue you want to enter. Though remember for best results, get the best astronomy telescope you can. A Tasco astronomy telescope is cheap and cheerful, the Tasco astronomy telescope can be used to look at objects in the sky, and also for wildlife viewing.
