... The retweet numbers are close to the values that Twitter has for the tweets, which means that I can't have messed up too much (I wouldn't expect perfect agreement since Twitter does not guarantee that any search will return all matching tweets; also, the Twitter values are updated whereas mine are fixed until the next set of tweets gets analyzed).

... If findbadsegments =Y embadpixfind looks for bright rows and columns too. ... If a bright row or column is found, it is analysed to look for bright segments within. If it is found that the rest of the row/column is compatible (to 10% probability) with the neighbouring rows/columns, then only the bright segments are declared as bad. The minimum length of the bright segments is set such that one expects about 1 count in that length in the normal (not bright) parts. ...

Figure 6. The squares show the telescope defocus data from August 15 (Figure 5) plotted as a function of time. For the defocus data the y-axis is in units of ?m. The circles show the telescope altitude in degrees as a function of time. As expected from the good linear correlation seen in Figure 5, the data very much look like they are driven by altitude changes. ... Second, notice that the defocus data consists of pairs of points which were taken at nearly the same telescope altitude. ...

... Classical nova V2362 Cyg (N Cyg 2006, 21:11:32.34, +44:48:03.9, 2000 [position in ATel 928 is incorrect!] ) undergoes gradual increase of its brightness since middle of August, 2006 from the level of V = 11.9. ... Full width of Halpha line is 5900 km/s, and that one of Hbeta is 5300 km/s. We identified the strongest emission features as CIII+NIII blend centered on 4652A, [OIII]+NII blend on 5010A, NII+[NII] blend on 5708A, NaI+OI blend on 5920A. Absence of HeI lines at 6678 and 7065A is surprising. ...

... Observers looking at an object that is moving away from them see light that has a longer wavelength than it had when it was emitted (a redshift), while observers looking at an approaching source see light that is shifted to shorter wavelength (a blueshift). ... By measuring the amount of the shift to the red, we can determine that the bright galaxy is moving away at 3,000 km/sec, which is 1 percent of the speed of light, because its lines are shifted in wavelength by 1 percent to the red. ... Part 2...

Cygnus is also host to a lot of small open star clusters that stand up to inspection under hazy skies. ...

... We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the unique isolated nearby galaxy KKR25. The isolated dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy KKR25 was discovered by Karachentseva, Karachentsev Richter (1999, A , 135, 221) during the search of dwarf galaxies in the direction of the Local Void. In spite of its isolation KKR 25 has no gas and looks like a normal dwarf spheroidal system. ... This is the first known planetary nebula in a dwarf spheroidal galaxy outside the Local Group. ...
