SS433 and Be star in remote...

[Paolo Berardi]

The be star remotely from my garden (10 meters) and SS433 from Santa Maria de Montmagastrell! A big hello from Paolo and Joan in L'Aquila!





Note SS433 seems now much brighter than yesterday. Tomorrow we send photometry and spectroscopy.

Paolo, Joan

Many thanks to all! It was a very nice and fruitful meeting!

Our V594 Cas observation (between clouds...):



It seems a P-cygni profile!

Robin, that is the Yaesu VR-5000, a multi-band receiver I use to detect meteor events with forward-scattering technique (may be you are also an ham radio?). On the nearby notebook runs Spectrum Lab, a software that analizes low-frequency signal and creates spectrograms like this (related to a modest fireball):



All the best!

Hi Paolo,,

Ah I suspected it was a receiver/tranceiver. Yes I still hold a ham radio license from when I was at school nearly 50 years ago (G8DVW) but I have not been active for many years now. I used to listen to hams communicating using meteor pings and high speed morse, though I never tried it myself.

Cheers
Robin

[Paolo Berardi]

Very nice Robin! It is the same for me, an old license (IW6OQO) and TX activity in stand-by for years. Only radio-meteors currently...
I apologize for OT argument!

Paolo
