BRIXIIS Observatory activities

It was cloudy and gray all day and towards evening there were some clearings however with high clouds that brought down the transparency. Still i was able to observe some comets, albeit in very poor … Read more

the evening began with high veil clouds, full moon and temperatures below 0°C. The cocktail of veil clouds and full moon made it difficult to observe comets. SQM was about 17.8 in zenith. comets that … Read more

a cold day, we had a clear sky here with some disturbing moon, I was able to start with spectroscopic observations of Be stars: gam Cas, HD224544 and PZ Gem (not observed), unfortunately the latter … Read more

it was a clear night and i was able to observe several comets with my 0.4-m f/3.8 telescope. Comets that could be observed are: 43P, 117P, 130P, 328P, 487P, 493P, 496P, C/2021 S3, C/2022 N2, … Read more

After the clouds and the rain was gone, i could observe some comets: 43P, 130P, 493P, C/2021 S3, C/2022 N2, C/2023 A3, C/2024 M1, C/2024 N3. simultanously i could obtain, with the second observatory , … Read more

During a short period of clear sky, i could observe comet C/2023 A3 and spectroscopic observations of Be-star: gam Cas for h-alpha region and HeI emission @ 6678 Angstrom.

cloud-free sky but with high humidity, low transparency and a bit of fogging, I still opened the observatories for comet observations and capture spectra in High resolution. Comets that were observed are: 43P, 130P, 190P, … Read more

a rare clear night was the trigger to make comets and spectroscopic observations once again. I was able to observe 7 comets including: 54P, 493P, C/2021 S3, C/2022 N2, C/2022 U1, C/2023 R1, C/2023 V1. … Read more

It promises clear skies for the whole night and the moon phase is now about 0.35, so also less disturbing. I had prepared the observatory and set up a whole programme of observations. However, around … Read more
