March 4, 2023 Astronomy, open cluster This night wasn't good enough weather to take the car out to a dark place. I did this observation from our balcony instead. When astrophotographing from the balcony it's easier if the objects bright, stars are easier than deep sky object. I found that I had the open cluster NGC 6939 coming up from North: The open cluster NGC 6939: astronomy/ astronomy-photo/ open-clusters/ astronomy-photo-open-clusters.html Other open clusters photos. |

It guide on a star and the computer calculate the offset speed between the star and the comet and correct for that. I have looked through the text and updated links and added more photos. The software has developed a lot but still the principle is the same: |

Then I saw that I had the constellation Great Bear outside the window. Why not take photos of the seven stars that built the Big Dipper which is a part of the Great Bear ? Afterwards I can analyze the images and see what's more there, sounds a bit exiting to me:

Mars 23, 2021 Astronomy prof Gösta Gahm 
I, prof Gösta and Peter at the Sweden Solar system presentation, Gunilla is the photographer. Something very sad has happen, in January 2021 I got the information that Gösta had passed away. We had known each other for more than 25 years, both I and Gunilla had him as a teacher in more than one courses we took in astronomy from 1995 to 2002 and we kept the contact since then. This meeting with the Jupiter model was the last time we saw him and at Christmas I got a greeting from him, since then nothing. Goodbye Gösta, we hope you have a great time up among the stars ! Gösta has one asteroid named after him: 10997 Gahm. Lars and Gunilla
