August, 2010.....Did you know this is the best time of year to hunt Globular Clusters? Our telrad finder chart 'Globular Clusters of the Milky Way Galaxy' show 25 GCs in Ophiuchus, 19 in Scorpius, and 34 in Sagittarius. That is 78 of the 151 are visible each evening in August right there. Since GCs are also concentrated in constellations surrounding those 3 constellations, most GCs are conveniently located for observation at this time. GCs are classified in 12 different catagories based on density and compactness. Now is the time to get your finder chart, and start observing these. Spend a summer evening chasing down one of each classification and see GCs as you have never seen them before.

		Take pictures of the moon? I find this worksheet useful in planning a night's observation/photo ops. It is an 11/17" document which contains a detailed map and list of objects. All is laminated and can be written on with a Sharpie, erased with alcohol, and reused. Both sides have the same design so that 2 observation sessions can be planned. The moon is available as a correct, inverted or reversed image. $11 includes US shipping. It is mailed rolled not folded. If you wish, it can be folded into an 11x8.5 booklet. (this puts a crease across the moon).
		Newtonian rear fan kit. This has everything you need to put a cooling fan behind your mirror on an 6, 8, or 10 inch newtonian telescope. Two fan sizes 60 mm and 80 mm (12 volts) are available, and one can choose a 6 volt or 9 volt battery holder (batteries not included). If run at 12 volt, the fans put out too much air so the lower voltages are preferable. Kit includes, fan, toggle switch, 5 foot of elastic cord for mounting the fan, and the battery setup (either 6 volt or 9 volt). This insures plenty of air flow with little noise and vibration. $13 includes US shipping. Some soldering required.

Global Rent-a-Scope Want to take photos? Why buy equipment when you can rent the best? and use it in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere?
Use and Astro-Mall and Astroclassifieds.com for buying and selling your used equipment. They are great free sites! Unlike Astromart, there is no $12 fee to sign up or to change your email address or other data. (and they still claim it is a free service.) Even if you post your stuff on Astromart, post on these too and help them grow. Competition is a good thing. There are more and more people finding these sites friendlier and cheaper to buy and sell on. Besides, Herb has kicked so many people off that you will have a whole new audience. I was booted because I politely questioned the high prices of Astromart ads and their latest increase. His reply, "You are history" So consider my website a historic site! Also check out http://www.astronomyratings.com/ and rate the equipment you have purchased so that everyone can benefit.
