I am excited to announce that 4 new papers concerning the astrometric measurements of WDS catalog pairs have been published at the Journal of Double Star Observations. doublestarsjournal.org/index.php/jd... Congratulations to my students achieving their first published papers!

Measurements of the separation (ρ) and position angle (θ) of WDS 19246+4447.

Fantastic weekend at Great Basin National Park . I provided tours of the telescope and ops area. 12 groups, 180 visitors, and a lecture on Saturday for 22 visitors. Ran ops each night and collected exoplanet data. #astronomy 🔭

SSBN 598 Gold from 78 - 81. Underway is the only way. Rickover was a mad genius.

Meanwhile you continue to PUNISH solar customers with NET METER 3 rates. I sent 4 times more power to the grid than I used over last 12 months. PG&E sold that power at a profit and CHARGED me > $500 dollars for doing so. They charge 40 cents per KWR, they pay me less than 2 cents. TOTAL RIPOFF.

Will data from the mission be publicly accessible?

Beautiful. I see several smaller structures that look like roll off roof/small dome observatories. Are those remotely controlled? Is the main building still operational? Who manages the facility?

Agree. But I expect that long before billions die from climate change, an asteroid will beat it to it. We are well overdue for such an event.

Last week I was out at the observatory upgrading our imaging system. We installed an ASI 6200mm and modified the filter wheel. We now have BVR and GRIZ filters so I took this shot of the Cocoon nebula with the Sloan filters for fun! #astronomy 🔭 We'll get back to exoplanet work soon...

We went in the evening with Tom and was only there long enough to take a group photos. I plan to go back and take the longer tour next summer. I will be sure to look for that exhibit.

Just back from a 5 night speckle observation run at Mt. Wilson. We used the Hale 60" telescope for our data collection, but did get a chance to visit the 100" Hooker telescope. If you're interested in attending our next speckle run, please let me know. I will be leading the event. #astronomy 🔭

I run a 12 week seminar that takes them through the process of selecting, analyzing, and preparing a paper for submission to the JDSO. We gather data using the GBO telescope. The key to getting a paper submitted is to follow a set of guidelines I provide for construction of the paper.

I am pleased to report that one of my Binary Star Class students had her paper published last week. In all 11 students submitted their work from the class to JDSO. Astrometric Observations of WDS 12084+1403 Using the Great Basin Observatory #astronomy 🔭 doublestarsjournal.org/index.php/jd...

No disrespect intended. I checked your feed and there wasn't anything astronomy related originated by you. You can still monitor the feed, or use the #astronomy hash tag if you post something you create related to astronomy. You can always apply again when you start posting astro content.
