“The variety of galaxies we see is amazing. In time these Hubble data could turn out to be the double helix of galaxy formation. We are clearly seeing some of the galaxies as they were more than ten billion years ago, in the process of formation,” said Robert Williams, Director of the Space telescope Science Institute Baltimore, Maryland. “As the images have come up on our screens, we have not been able to keep from wondering if we might somehow be seeing our own origins in all of this. The past ten days have been an unbelievable experience.”

Harry Ferguson, one of the HDF team astronomers added: “One of the great legacies of the Hubble Telescope will be these deep images of the sky showing galaxies to the faintest possible limits with the greatest possible clarity from here out to the very horizon of the universe.”

The term “deep” in an astronomical sense means looking at the faintest objects in the universe. Because the most distant objects are also among the dimmest, the image is the equivalent of using a “time machine” to look into the past to witness the early formation of galaxies, perhaps less than one billion years after the universe’s birth in the Big Bang.

Simple telescope observatory for my LX200 – only a standard 6 x 4 foot shed which is simply converted to house my Meade 10″ SCT LX200 Classic.
Your eyepieces, computers & other equipment are kept within the roll off section so they always stay dew free.
It also has an advantage for you as well because your under cover it keeps you a bit warmer to.
Basic 6 x 4 garden shed is used as the concept and a number of standard furniture castors are used at the bottom of the roll off section. I used aluminium “U” tracks screw mounted onto the shed floor base to keep the castors all in line. Two X2 inch wheels mounted under the rear door support the back in the rolled off condition.
If you keep pressing the pause / play button you will get a number of “still images” which gives a better insight into the observatories simple construction.
Being like every other shed in every other garden it also detracts light fingered persons from its real perpoise…
Saying that you still should have it alarmed and locked securely.
The scope mount & 12 foot base is the hard work – the installation of the shed / observatory only took a day to do.
Ten years its been working now and also moved house in that time so its not doing bad for a £125.00 Argos shed…
Fully extended the whole shed is 11 foot 6″ long… Check out my other posts and feel free to comment.

Digital camcorders can do wonderful things to solar viewing. Using a light craft workshop nd500x neutral density filter. There may even be a smallpass hydrogen alpha filter attached to my eyepiece..

How shameful of BP to accelerate the internet fear of 2012 becoming a reality.

Hubblecast 22: Hubble Space Telescope Directly Observes Exoplanet Orbiting Fomalhaut.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space telescope has discovered an extrasolar planet, for the first time using direct visible-light imaging. The strange world is far-flung from its parent star, is surrounded by a colossal belt of gas and dust, and may even have rings more impressive than Saturn’s.
