The articles (e.g. forgotten spacemen, nebulae, the 1999 eclipse of the Sun, CCD cameras to name but a few) are written by the members and the whole magazine is put together by me, Kevin Woodward. Aries Astronomy Magazine on line contains the main articles from the paper version, including some basic sky notes to assist with observing, missing out stuff like news (easily available elsewhere on line) and crosswords and newspaper cuttings.</div> <div> From the Autumn 2000 issue of Aries, I have given the magazine a new look. Hopefully it will mean the pages load faster and that navigation is simpler. </div> <div> I would appreciate your comments about the Aries Astronomy Magazine via the guestbook. When you have finished here, why not visit the main site of the Derby and District Astronomical Society as well. To contact the society, see the editorial page of the Autumn 1999 issue of Aries magazine or make an entry to the guest book.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="aries_astronomy_urls.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Aries Astronomy Magazine Derby and Dist"><U>Site map for Aries Astronomy Magazine</U></A> - gives quick links to many of the articles</div> <bR> <div> OR</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="aries_astronomy_urls.htm#search" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Aries Astronomy Magazine Derby and Dist"><U>Search this site</U></A> - using individual keywords</div> <bR> <div> OR</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="aries_astronomy_urls.htm#askjeeves" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Aries Astronomy Magazine Derby and Dist"><U>Search the internet</U></A> using "Ask Jeeves"</div> <bR> <div> OR</div> <div>                                                   </div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="506" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#330099 HEIGHT= 87 WIDTH="219"><div> <A HREF="id17.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Switchboard"><U>Enter the Aries site</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#330099 WIDTH="268"><div> <A HREF="http://www.derby-astro-soc.fsnet.co.uk/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.derby-astro-soc.fsnet.co.uk"><U>Derby and District Astronomical Society main site</U></A></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Site last updated 24th Oct 2000</div> <div> ("Ask Jeeves" internet search box and "get your own DDAS email service" added)</div> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="guestbook"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A> <CENTER><P> <A href="http://pub17.bravenet.com/guestbook/show.asp?usernum=1410457203&cpv=1"> <IMG src="http://images.bravenet.com/pub/viewbook.gif" border="0" width="100" height="35"></A> <A href="http://www.bravenet.com/"> <IMG src="http://images.bravenet.com/pub/gbook.gif" border="0" width="100" height="35"></A> </CENTER>    </div> <div>  <A NAME="email"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>The DDAS can now offer its own <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#66FFFF" FACE="Comic Sans MS" >FREE </FONT>email service in conjunction with ZapZone.

At these meetings, we have a variety of speakers who give talks to suit all levels and interests from beginner to old hand. From time to time, our own members give short (or longer if given the opportunity) talks. These meetings begin at 7:30 p.m. In between these, we have regular observing meetings scheduled. These are usually at members houses, with the middle one scheduled for our observatory. The latter is named the Flamsteed Observatory in honour of "local boy come good"  John Flamsteed. It houses a 10" Newtonian Reflecting telescope that is motor driven. There is also a simple CCD camera that can be used for guiding the telescope or observing brighter objects in real time. We put on public observing sessions from time to time, in Markeaton Park in Derby - OK so we suffer from a lot of light pollution but at least we are achieving one of our aims - that is to bring astronomy to the general public.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
