General Help Information for Observing
In these pages you'll find useful information that'll hopefully help
whilst at the telescope in carrying out observations.
- Find object coords and get finding charts from the
STScI DSS
- Generate finding charts using Skyview.
- General catalogue searches, try ADS
- Extragalactic objects, try NED
- Instant almanacs for the night (so find out when the sun actually
rises) can be found using one of the more useful utilities that
STARLINK distribute -
from your Sun session type: /star/bin/skycalc
