IMAGES FROM THE VISNJAN OBSERVATORY


 

I've been participating in the Visnjan school of astronomy back in 2001, in the group for the supernovae search. We've imaged many galaxies (and some other objects), so I've put some of them here. In my group was Sonja Milicic, Nikola Strah, Gregor Kervina and me. As the leader we had Korado Korlevic, the leader of the Visnjan observatory. I've also put few interesting images from the group for the comets (I participated in processing of all that images). They are Mihaela Justic, Tanja Zaric, Ivan Turcin, Senka Pitaric, Nikola Jokic, with the the leader Giovanni Sostero, from Assiago observatory, Italy.


Comet LINEAR, C/2001 A2
August, 08th, 2001. at 22.00 - 23.00 Local time (CET)

This image is obtained with 16" f/4.3 Newtonian telescope and the AP-8 CCD camera. Seven 60-second exposure images have been digitally combined to get the final image.

Image taken by Senka Pintaric. Processed by S. Pintaric and me.

M 31 (NGC 224) - Andromeda galaxy and M 32 (NGC 221)
August, 08th, 2001.

This image is combined of four 60-second exposure images obtained with 16" f/4.3 Newtonian telescope and the AP-8 CCD camera.

Image taken by S. Milicic and me. I processed it using Astroart.
NGC 7290
August, 08th, 2001.

This image is a digital combination of three 60-second exposures obtained with 16" f/4.3 Newtonian telescope and the AP-8 CCD camera. A starlike object lower right of the galaxy center was suspected supernova, later identified at just discovered asteroid.
