Imaging.• Inviting few specialised person in this
areas.
BEYOND NIGHT SKY
List of projects:-• Analemma Project• Photometry• Spectroscopy
BEYOND NIGHT SKY
Project Analemma
“an analemma is a diagram showing the deviation of the Sun from its mean motion in the sky, as viewed from a fixed location on the Earth.”
BEYOND NIGHT SKY
How?We have take image of sun at same time from same position after every 10 days for one year
Requirement1. Camera(Better if DSLR)2. Small wooden setup
BEYOND NIGHT SKY
Photometry
“Photometry is the science of measuring brightness of the celestial objects”
“Photometry is the science of measuring brightness of the celestial objects”
“It can be used to measure the orbital period of variable stars”
BEYOND NIGHT SKY
How?Brightness of star can be measured by taking images of a star using a DSLR or CCD camera and then by processing by astronomical software like aperture photometry tool(APT)
Requirement1. Camera(DSLR or CCD)2. Computerized telescope3. Good knowledge of handling telescope
and DSLR cameras.4. Software
BEYOND NIGHT SKY
Interface of APT software
BEYOND NIGHT SKY
Spectroscopy “Spectroscopy is the measure of spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, which radiates from stars and other hot celestial objects.”
“It can be used to derive chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance, luminosity, and relative motion using of celestial objects”
BEYOND NIGHT SKY
How?Spectrum of celestial objects can be obtained by using spectrometer along with telescope and a camera using star analyser 100.
Requirement1. Camera(DSLR or CCD)2. Computerized telescope3. Good knowledge of handling telescope and
DSLR cameras4. Star analyser 100 and corresponding
equipments
BEYOND NIGHT SKY
Interface of Rspec software
BEYOND NIGHT SKY
Advantages of projects• Projects will help NAC to produce scientific
data which can be used by researchers.• This projects will lay the foundation of
more aspiring projects with collaboration with well known research institutes.
• In future scientific papers can be submitted by using data derived from this projects.
• As NAC is well endowed with the required accessories so this venture will not be expensive.
