You Can Make Stellar Images Brighter . Articles | ... A few months ago I wrote an article titled "You Can’t Make Them Brighter". So why am I now writing that you can make them brighter. ... The image of a focused star is actually a small disk called the Airy disk, named after the 19 th century scientist Sir George Airy. ... For a given aperture, a smaller Airy disk means that the light is focused to a smaller disk and is therefore brighter. ... www.astronomy.net . About Astronomy Net | ...

... This program was created for correlating chosen regions in the series of fts images. ... Chosen regions' . ... In this section the program counts the integral for each region of the grid for each image. ... As a matter of fact, the integral is total brightness of the region and it is counted by 'int_tabulated' IDL function. ... In addition, the program will show the count of the regions which correlate with the corresponding region (the brighter region means the bigger count) and its contour. ...

It may be total (the Moon passing completely through the Earth's umbra ), partial (the Moon passing partially through the Earth's umbra at maximum eclipse), or penumbral (the Moon passing only through the Earth's penumbra ). ...

... Since the fast mode window is necessarily small, the source PSF fills much of the window (clearly evident for bright sources). ... As such, the source and background extraction apertures may be truncated by the window. ... While often there will be only one object in the image, one should check for spurious detections which could affect the analysis of the target source and also for missed sources or prominent objects in the window, which may contaminate the target. ...

. The Gemini. The Gemini is a zodiak constellation. The stars Castor and Pollucs presents the twins' heads and theeir bodies lead down to the Mylky Way, to the Orion side. The Greeks called the stars so, because Castor and Pollucs were the names of Zevs sons. Castor is a visible triple system and its both bright components are the double stars and the weak one is an eclipsed double system. So Castor is a multiple system of the six stars. Back .
