Physics is like sex.
Sure, it may give some practical results,
but that's not why we do it.
Richard Feynman
Research
Development and maintenance of meteor detecting system, radiant and orbit calculations, asteroid discovery from public archives or images from professional observatories make up the main areas of our activities.
Observation
Visual observation of the Sun, Moon, planets, deep sky objects, comets and meteor showers.
Education
Regular club events, presentations, public observation events.
Recent works
The Observatory
Building of the observatory is almost complete. Next step is to upgrade the equipment.
Video meteor observation
Processing the data of detected meteors, statistical evaluation, trajectory, velocity and orbit calculations.
Vizual observation
Database of deep sky object and comet observations. This can mostly help when creating list of observable objects.
The sky tonight
This is the place for the current sky map and basic astronomical information.
