Rikersisland Schedule

Sunspot

After all this time the Sun was in a very long period of inactivity, but it seems that the last period atività solar is growing and it is therefore possible to see real shows in our star.
yesterday afternoon I had the opportunity to observe our star both with the Coronado PST H-Alpha, with both the Prism Herscherl Baader, in white light.
I did some pictures of the sun with the PST, where you can clearly see the two spots in the time when I was watching and with a little more attention to some visually spectacular flares were truly colossal.
Unfortunately the Prism version at my disposal was not viewing and photography, so I could not do pictures, but I enjoyed an incredible visual spectacle, I saw the sunspots in high resolution noting the various Manzoni.
Introducing one of the pictures I made with the PST, the other can be found on my website at this link .

How Long Does Your Cervix Stay High

Messier 6

If it were not so low on the horizon Italian, this open cluster would be counted as one of the most beautiful in the sky. This cluster and nicknamed "Butterfly" (butterfly) because of the disposal of its bright stars. The contrast of the main stars, including blue and orange slots, they did also nicknamed "jewel box" that is "Casket of Jewels."
is definitely worth at least once to escape from the mist and the lights of the plain, as the observation made in the mountains can make a little more justice to the splendor of this cluster.
The cluster M5 is prospectively only 3.5 degrees in the center of our galaxy in an area obscured by dust and gas, it is easy to trace to 3 degrees northwest of storage open M7, which in turn is straightforward 6 degrees west of Epsilon Sgr.
