Teaching Set
Hi
I have only one teaching set left: Teaching Set 3 for $100.
The set includes the booklet describing what you can find and 10 UK Schmidt negative transparencies. Remember the field of view is 45cm x 45cm (5 degrees x 5 degrees) and go down to Mag. 23. The images are amazing and a bargain at $100 for the set. Own a piece of history.
The film comes from the Royal Observatory Edinburgh and was made from the plates from the UK Schmidt Telescope near Coonabarabran, NSW. The film library has closed down and this film was saved from being discarded.
The Set 3 booklet includes information on star counting, galaxy classification and asteroids.
The film set includes:
Field 32 South west of LMC, LMC globular clusters, a few galaxies
Field 33 Southern edge of LMC, LMC globular clusters, planetary nebula
Field 83 Medium lat. field, NGC 1313 and other galaxies
Field 159 Medium lat. field, a few galaxies
Field 322 Centaurus, many galaxies, fairly high star density
Field 325 Milky Way field, Large Cometary globule, bright stars, obscured galaxies
Field 475 High lat. field (near SGP), many faint galaxies and clusters of galaxies
Field 531 Medium lat. field, M30 (bright globular cluster), asteroids (incl. Icarus), Comet Gunn 1969 II
Field 551 Medium lat. field, a few galaxies and clusters of galaxies, distant globular cluster
Field 562 Milky Way field, a few bright galaxies
