For those of you who use AstroPlanner, I have created a downloadable plan details as follows:

“Galaxies discovered to be in our Local Group as of 2007. Data not in catalogues (unknown ID) has been added from various internet sources  – therefore please consider this as a beta version. User field 1 suggests good starting points for N.Hemisphere imaging. Please post comments/corrections to Yahoo group or via my website http://www.annmariejones.me.uk thanks.”

If you don’t use AstroPlanner then I do highly recommend it as a brilliant program and great value too.

I have created a sheet of basic formulae for Astronomy & Astrophotography & am posting it as a download. They’ve been collected from various sources, mainly around the net and then rewritten in the hope of presenting them simply. This was done as a quick & simple project to help my understanding, but perhaps it will be useful to some others. There are many more related formulae out there, but I’ve just included the basic ones for starters; maybe I’ll do an intermediate collection in the future. Elsewhere you’ll find some excellent spreadsheets & utilities to help with calculations but now you’ll know what’s happening behind the scenes Click below to download your file of choice.
