Welcome to Newcastle Observatory News

Newcastle Observatory's web site now uses a content management system. This site uses the e107 content management system (CMS). I began deploying the CMS during the last week of March 2007. The old web site is available until the transition is completed. Most of the content from the old site has been ported over to this new site.

First Light for Meade DSI PRO II CCD Camera

My first images taken with the Meade DSI PRO CCD camera were taken today. I want to image all the Messier objects, so it was fitting that I start with an image of M1 (Crab Nebula), a planetary nebula as a result of a supernova explosion. Images can be browsed in the Image Gallery.

Ordering the 10 Foot Home Dome
Michael Cook,Monday 03 May 2004 - 13:59:48 //Comments are turned off for this item
After mulling over my decision to get a home dome, I finally settled on the 10 foot model. I then called my dealer, Walter MacDonald at Winchester Electronics, to ask him some questions and go over my requirements. Walter was very helpful and suggested some good ideas to make life easier, like getting the remote power module. I would reccommend going through a dealer since they know all the shipping an customs issues.
