Comments on Observation : The lights had gone out and there was no moon around. Closed my eyes 5-7 min prior to the observation.
Hi all, I am presently here in Lucknow, India for a vacation and today the skies were extremely clear(as compared to the pathetic sky in Delhi). I decided to go out and count stars in the IMO defined regions : Leo was a fine choice and I could count 11 stars in the quadrilateral defined by Denebola-Zosma-Algeiba-Regulus. The time of observation was 21:15 hours IST. As such, the limiting magnitude for the leo region no 9 as per IMO specs stands at : 5.50 There are some near street lights that form the source of immediate light. The skies of Lucknow are much better as compared to those of Delhi and I remember seeing the Milky Way last year in June, once the lights went out. June 15, 2008, at 11:19 AM EST

(Comment : I believe the limiting mag in the "staring" count went upto 5.42 because I live in a colony where most people are into bed by 2230 with their lights off) June 15, 2008, at 11:18 AM EST

- Observations for Taare Sadak Par : Quantifying Light PollutionAdded lines 1-19:
Hi there, I would like to first like to give a small introduction of myself....I'm Ashmeet Singh : an amateur astronomer, aged 16 years, presently studying in class 11 in Delhi. Astronomy for me is much more than a hobby...its a passion ! I have been the past owner of a 5" newtonian reflector and have clicked many astrophotos: both through the eyepiece and widefield.I am about to get a 8" newtonian very very soon.. I am really enjoying Taare Sadak Par and following are my observations : boldOBSERSVATION 1 : Star Counts as per IMO regionsbold Region : IMO 9 : LEO Location : 28°32'58"N 77°14'49"E New Delhi, India Observation Time : 22:45 IST No of stars counted : 8(all verified) Limiting Magnitude as per IMO specs : 5.42 Comments on Observation : The lights had gone out and there was no moon around. Closed my eyes 5-7 min prior to the observation. |
