My first pubblication on LPOD

I hope the International Dark-Skies Association people don't see this. The IDA has worked for decades to convince everyone to use shielded lights at night. Shielded lights send the illumination downward where it is needed, and often allow use of lower wattage bulbs, thus saving money. Bright lights at night interfere with animal navigation, worsen pollution and may increase the risk of breast cancer. Sky-shining light also erases the stars of the night sky that have shined over Homo Sapiens for a million years. To restore and preserve the nightly glory of the cosmos - so everyone can marvel at the Milky Way - we must light the ground and not the sky. So Giuseppe's documentation of an unearthly bright light on a city street in Sicily means the IDA's work is not yet done. Help raise awareness to make the sky safe for astronomers.

Eclissi lunare 2011

Dopo anni di attesa ecco una bellissima eclissi totale lunare!!Subito dopo il tramonto del 15-6-2011 si è potuto osservare lo spettacolo della luna che sorge già eclissata. Nel link sopra è possibile vedere alcune foto che ho caricato nel mio profilo di facebook. Qui metto una foto come assaggio.La prossima eclissi sarà il 28-9-2015.

Comet Lulin

I created a little video of C/2007N3 Lulin from the images obteined by 16-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope of Coca-Cola Space Science Center in Columbus, Georgia.I used 5 frame for a coverage of 3 minutes between 4.43am to 4.46am local time.

Venus observed in sunlight

I'll put two images obeined this mornig of Venus with my digital camera Fujifilm FinePix S5600.

The first image was obteined with my reflector of 16cm at 133x while in the second image Venus was easily visible on the right near the clouds .

Corona around Venus

This phenomena usually appear around Sun and Moon sometimes it could appear around bright star or planets like Venus and Jupiter. I'm very lucky today because during twilight I obteined this shot!

Questo fenomeno di solito appare attorno al Sole a alla Luna, per maggiori spiegazioni vedete il link citato in questo post. La corona più raramente si può vedere attorno a stelle luminose e pianeti come Venere e Giove. Questa foto l'ho scattata durante il crepuscolo di questo pomeriggio!
