The Doppler shift is the effect of sound increasing or decreasing in pitch as an object moves towards or away from you. ... Light works the same way, except light is shifted to redder colours when an object is moving away, and to blue colours when an object is travelling towards us. ... Almost every object he observed had its light stretched to redder colours, indicating essentially everything in the Universe was moving away from us. ... So the Hubble constant tells us how old the Universe is. ...

User catalogs allow you enter positions for your objects into a file, to save time during an observing run. ... Before diving into the details, here is an example: # default coordinate system and object # (these are the standard defaults, so if you like them you can omit this line) CSys=FK5; Date =2000; RotType= Object ; RotAng=0 # some random objects # Name Pos1 (e.g. RA) Pos2 (e.g. Dec) Options in keyword-value format NGC6543 rot 90 ...

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...
