... The Thickness of Stellar Disks in Early-type Galaxies E. M. Chudakova* and O. K. Sil'chenko ** Sternberg Astronomical Institute, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia Received August 19, 2013; in final form, October 30, 2013 Abstract--We suggest and justify a new photometric method enabling the derivation of the relative thickness of a galactic disk from the two-dimensional surface-brightness distribution of the galaxy in the plane of the sky. ... The galaxies are non-interacting. ...

... Hazy skies usually mean steady skies, and steady air is just what the doctor ordered for observing planets and double stars. Mars is well past opposition and becoming less an item of interest as it shrinks in size, but Jupiter and Saturn are well placed in the early morning August sky. ... Their magnitudes are 4.2 and 6.0. ... It has an easily observed 10.6 magnitude central star. ... Cygnus is also host to a lot of small open star clusters that stand up to inspection under hazy skies. ...
