LynnS Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 DS9 is a simple tool, you say. I think I need a computer with a better processor and more storage capacity before I even attempt to use it. What I really want to see is the spectroscopy. That would make colourizing objects that interest me, somewhat more targeted. But the demo is much appreciated and also fun to watch.

LynnS Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 OMG!! Congratulations Nora. What a great fit. Well all I can say is that JPL has acquired The Talent. I hope we continue to hear about your adventures in Exoplanets. Spockydog, Starkess, Corvinus85 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been quite a few of these now. Galaxies appear to have formed much faster than previously thought, JGP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanMrMustard Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Astro kids, where should I do this as an amateur? I was in Flagstaff, AZ and apparently they try to be good at this around there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't really know about stargazing tours in the U.S. But I think a desert tour would be great - no light pollution. The advertising for some of these tours, look interesting and fun.
