Morris County, New Jersey
You
have connected to a website that is dedicated to the purely
scientific and artistic endeavors of a dedicated amateur
astronomer. UnderOak
is a privately owned backyard
observatory (SkyShed
POD XL3)
in Morris County (NJ) that has been in operation since
Sept 2007. This
website
contains a wide range of solar, lunar, planetary
and deep-sky images taken at the same North Jersey location over the
past 4+
years. Equally
important, along with presenting the light-curves produced from
my photometric (BRVI) study of
eclipsing binary star systems
and
minor
planets, the underlying phased differential magnitude data is available
for public use. The
acquisition of a Deep Sky Spectrograph (DSS-7) has expanded the
repetoir of investigations that can be made on stars, planetary
objects,
and nebulae. Requests for
data or images as
well as comments or questions about
the website contents
can be sent directly to mail@underoakobservatory.com.
