Physics is like sex.
Sure, it may give some practical results,
but that's not why we do it.

Richard Feynman

Research

Development and maintenance of meteor detecting system, radiant and orbit calculations, asteroid discovery from public archives or images from professional observatories make up the main areas of our activities.

Observation

Visual observation of the Sun, Moon, planets, deep sky objects, comets and meteor showers.

Education

Regular club events, presentations, public observation events.

Recent works

The Observatory

Building of the observatory is almost complete. Next step is to upgrade the equipment.

Video meteor observation

Processing the data of detected meteors, statistical evaluation, trajectory, velocity and orbit calculations.

Vizual observation

Database of deep sky object and comet observations. This can mostly help when creating list of observable objects.

The sky tonight

This is the place for the current sky map and basic astronomical information.
