IceInSpace Colleagues,
I have a question about what I think is Canopus (SE sky when viewed from Sydney).
Some preliminaries
- I'M A RANK BEGINNER ...
- I don't have a GOTO scope, nor do I use RA/Declination coordinates in locating objects.
To the naked eye and through my bino's and scope (what I think is) Canopus appears to continuously change colour (almost looks like the exterior lights of a plane except the object doesn't move and it's there night after night).
Is this some weird atmospheric effect or am I seeing things or what ??
Thanks in advance
FS
