Observatory Volunteer Shares Images from Backyard

May 27, 2020

Jack C Davis Observatory volunteer Jim Buzonik has used his isolation time to gather images of many astronomical objects with his backyard observatory.
The images have been distributed through observatory director Dr. Thomas Herring to many astronomy instructors across the country through the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT). His images have reached nearly 100 college and high school faculty and who knows how many students, providing them with not only great pictures to look at but also recent observational data in a time when many observers are away from their telescopes, cameras and other equipment.
Look at the included picture of Comet Atlas taken in late March and check out this link (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1EF3VC-4siuO4Rq-RPIUHkw6JPbHeCQYY) for the continually growing archive of images from the JCDO team.
