... Contacting and discussing with people sharing your interests, participating in night sky observations with telescopes as well as a large choice of astronomical books, magazines and video-tapes out of our club library. ... A reasonable compromise for observing both planets and brightest deep sky objects ( nebulae, galaxies) are either a 4 to 8 inch mirror telescope ( Newton, Schmidt-Cassegrain ) or a 3 to 4 inch refracting ( lens) telescope. ...

... 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 . ...
