Gilbert L. Beaudry commented on Carl Savage's blog post Kepler Conference"Did the astronomers/scientist mention how many of the 2200 planet candidates had more that 1 confirmed observations of orbiting the star. There would have to be 2 observations or more to confirm there is an object in orbit around the star and…"

I am at the five day Kepler conference at NASA's Ames Research Centre in support of the work I am doing. I am sure that you have heard of the discovery of Kepler 22b but I thought I would fill everyone in on other things happening with the Kepler data. First the number of planet candidates found by Kepler is now over 2200 and this number is going to increase, a few people are predicting to over 4000, on the January release of data. Keep in mind that the team is only looking at ~150 000 stars in…See More
Carl Savage commented on Carl Savage's blog post Variable Stars"Thanks for the comments Gilbert.
Figure 14 a and b are plots of the magnitude of the comparison star over the period of the observations. These graphs are used to show that the comparison star was not a variable star. They are…"
Gilbert L. Beaudry commented on Carl Savage's blog post Variable Stars"Great piece of work. Also very good instructions included to set up your own experiment. Your telescope is able to do incredible stuff.
I noticed in the star magnitude graph cleaned up in Figure 14b that the variance in magnitude is fairly stable…"

NGC2392
Here is a colour image of NGC2392 take at f6.5 through the 10” telescope. It is made up of 10 blue images of 5 min each, 5 green images of 5 min each, 5 red images of 5 min each and 6 luminance images of 5 min each for a total of 155 min.

Going Deep
Here is a 60 min exposure centred at RA 11h 47m 51.7s DEC +52 57’ 29”, I was hunting for the quasar QSO_J1148+5251 (23 mag) with no real hope of imaging it do to its 6.43 red shift. At this red shift, the light from the quasar is shifted to the end…

Here is a project that I have just finished. I have been working on it since March of last year. The general idea was to image the faintest object I could in a reasonable amount of time. Enjoy, its 12 pages long. Comments and corrections welcome. Going%20Deep%20C%20Savage.pdf
