We rely on the skills of our members to bring each other along as we image the beautiful night sky and its many wonders. Whether you use a CCD, DSLR, point-and-shoot or film camera, members of this group can help you achieve better images with less effort and frustrations. Please join us as we learn together to produce “stellar” images! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e8acf6e4b003ce1bcf3c4d/1658264666672-I1BO7HTGMSD4WWGWFTUC/unsplash-image-H5vF23xLFfc.jpg Star Party & SIG Landing Pages - Astro-Imaging SIG View the Astro-Imaging forum here for additional info on the group's activities!

All RCA members are welcome and encouraged to attend and participate in discussions on a wide variety of topics related to the formation and development of the universe. A background or education in astrophysics or cosmology is not required to participate - just an interest in expanding your understanding of the universe observed by astronomers. https://www.rosecityastronomers.net/event-particles/2016/2/27/dark-sky-preservation monthly 0.5 2026-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e8acf6e4b003ce1bcf3c4d/1457428694416-NVWSHEFWSBIM2RP6BZCB/image-asset.gif Star Party & SIG Landing Pages - Dark-Sky Preservation - What Is Light Pollution Light pollution is excessive or inappropriate outdoor lighting.

To offer the public a unique opportunity to access this rare community resource, RCA operates the observatory on select nights on behalf of CCC. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e8acf6e4b003ce1bcf3c4d/1680646272286-BIAB8AHQ2M1ND5GT148F/unsplash-image-Na0BbqKbfAo.jpg Star Party & SIG Landing Pages - Haggart Observatory Public Nights - Light pollution in the Portland-metro area has been steadily getting worse.. Without traveling to darker skies, even large telescopes have a hard time seeing the fainter nebulae and star clusters beyond our solar system. Happily, many of the objects in our celestial backyard are bright enough to shine right through the worst city lights. Because of this, at Haggart Observatory we're focusing on Earth's closest neighbor, the moon. While you can look up any day or night and have a 50% chance of seeing it (weather permitting), many people have never seen it in detail through a telescope. https://www.rosecityastronomers.net/event-particles/2016/2/10/telescope-workshop-sig monthly 0.5 2026-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e8acf6e4b003ce1bcf3c4d/1460755961102-506D2EN8ILCF0VFK9V9Y/image-asset.jpeg Star Party & SIG Landing Pages - Telescope Workshop SIG If you need help with a telescope project, need to clean or align your optics, repair or replace part of your telescope, or just want to talk about telescopes, come to the next Telescope Workshop. Subjects include telescope building from scratch or a kit, telescope setup, cleaning, aligning, adjustment, repair, and help using your telescope. We are now transitioning to in-person meetings rather than Zoom meetings. They will occur every month from 10 AM – 2 PM, usually on the Saturday closest to the full moon. You will be informed via the forums or club email when the next workshop is happening. You can also find it on the club calendar. https://www.rosecityastronomers.net/event-particles/2016/1/22/rca-dark-sky-camp-at-omsis-camp-hancock monthly 0.5 2026-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e8acf6e4b003ce1bcf3c4d/1453492790174-DZZX7ZZ622OIO029HEWQ/image-asset.jpeg Star Party & SIG Landing Pages - Camp Hancock Star Party https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e8acf6e4b003ce1bcf3c4d/1453451767602-MA2YBJR8HZZ0UM93MD1D/image-asset.jpeg Star Party & SIG Landing Pages - Camp Hancock Star Party Hancock Field Station was named for A.W.

Before some of the rays appeared, we could see a bright spot on the horizon that soon shot up into the sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e8acf6e4b003ce1bcf3c4d/1496210043936-L6W7KFE8RS1TAM59A0Z6/Rays9169_s.jpg June 2017 LIGO Trip Aurora - 12:32 am, 5/28 Brightest point. This unexpected auroral event was caused by the relatively minor Coronal Mass Ejection of May 23. When it arrived, it caused a geomagnetic storm that reached a rating of G3 (strong). TheWeatherNetwork.com ranked the event as "The brightest and most intense auroras since 2015 were spotted over parts of Canada." https://www.rosecityastronomers.net/haggart-scopes daily 0.75 2023-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e8acf6e4b003ce1bcf3c4d/1558074070919-6LCXNQD3FTEB3A2CUHGV/254mm-f3.9-Steve-Swayze-Dobsonian.png Haggart scopes -

The Radio SIG concentrates on amateur projects that can detect the waves in the Radio Window. We have active discussions, videos and resources in our Radio Astronomy SIG forum. The SIG meets the 4th Thursday of every month via ZOOM from 7:00 to 8:00 PM. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e8acf6e4b003ce1bcf3c4d/2b5f5df2-6548-4877-a2a1-a1d2abad94ac/1+Meter+Dish+Antenna.jpg Radio Astronomy SIG - 1-meter Hydrogen 21 cm Line Antenna is a tool used to detect hydrogen emissions at a wavelength of 21 centimeters. This frequency is important for astronomers studying galaxies, since hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. With the 1-meter antenna, detection of the Hydrogen 21 cm Line can be achieved and some analysis performed. With larger professional versions on the antenna researchers can collect useful data about cosmic events and improve our understanding of astrophysical processes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e8acf6e4b003ce1bcf3c4d/0e566c6b-b104-4896-9b36-524a0eb7ddf7/Antenna.jpg Radio Astronomy SIG - Meteor Detection Dipole Antenna is a type of antenna used to detect meteors, or shooting stars, by listening for radio reflections off their trails in the atmosphere. When meteors burn up, they leave behind a trail of ionized particles that can reflect radio waves. By using a dipole antenna, especially in conjunction with a software-defined radio (SDR), meteor echoes can be detected and studied. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e8acf6e4b003ce1bcf3c4d/ecfed97e-0bb4-4b38-9015-adfb3a9aed4b/Matt-Vartanian.jpg Radio Astronomy SIG - Matt Vartanian Observing Site Director Radio Astronomy SIG Coordinator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e8acf6e4b003ce1bcf3c4d/36bf18db-25a6-4977-b241-02386853d342/Mike+Caba.jpg Radio Astronomy SIG - Mike Caba Radio Astronomy SIG Coordinator https://www.rosecityastronomers.net/store daily 0.75 2024-12-13
