Just came in from viewing Nova Sco (V1280 Sco) through my 10x50 binoculars. Sure has dropped off. I made it to be approximately mag 6.4, but that's based on...
Interestingly, Phil, I got a look at V1280 Sco this morning too and found it no where near as faint as you did. Employing the AAVSO's charted 50 and 55 comp...

... Full Moon or not, I gave it a try just now. Unfortunately, there was a cloud layer in the south, which really hampered observations. I couldn't make a...

Fellow Astronomers, The day's cloudy and snowy weather did not give any indication that this Chicago eclipse would be visible later in the evening, but with ...
Against all weather predictions, including my local Clear Sky Clock, the lunar eclipse was well seen from this neck of the woods last night. True, it started...
Really liked them, especially the first one, Phil (7095) but as a former New York boy (Syracuse) all I can say is Brrrr-George in Apache Jct, AZ ... Clock,...
Although this total eclipse of the Moon favored observers in Europe and Africa, it was visible in some portions here in the States. By the time it rose above...
Memories of the October 2004 lunar eclipse sustained me as I waited with anticipation for the moon to rise. It was a cold evening with temperatures in the 30's...
Hi all, I too had a good eclipse. At the beginning there were some annoying clouds but they opened up often enough not to spoil the event. On the Danjon scale,...
Well, the nova is now below detect level for my 10x50s, at least under the hazy conditions I found this morning. Looking at the recent observations on the...

Yes, we in Canada now have to abide by this law also. But I am not, I';m staying with the old system. We should all use Universal Time :) -- Clear skies ...

John, Try this: If A1 has the data in time format and B1 has the offset, this formula should do the trick. =A1+(B2/24)*-1 Clear Skies!!! ... Mario Nicotra ...
John, As far as I know that's not possible, because Excel does not keep timezones with the data. Clear Skies!! ... Mario Nicotra http://www.astroamateur.com.ar...
