The First Astronomers is the first book to reveal the rich knowledge of the stars and the planets held by First Peoples around the world.
Our eyes have been drawn away from the skies to our screens. We no longer look to the stars to forecast the weather, predict the seasons or plant our gardens. Most of us cannot even see the Milky Way. But First Nations Elders around the world still maintain this knowledge, and there is much we can learn from them.
These Elders are expert observers of the stars. They teach that everything on the land is reflected in the sky, and everything in the sky is reflected on the land. How does this work, and how can we better understand our place in the universe?
Guided by six First Nations Elders, Duane Hamacher takes us on a journey across space and time to reveal the wisdom of the first astronomers. These living systems of knowledge challenge conventional ideas about the nature of science and the longevity of oral tradition. Indigenous science is dynamic, adapting to changes in the skies and on Earth, pointing the way for a world facing the profound disruptions of climate change.
'This book marks a profound paradigm shift in our understanding of Indigenous scientific traditions, how they are transmitted, and their relevance to life today.' - Professor Marcia Langton, University of Melbourne

Large objective lenses incorporated in the design allow for contrast-rich, bright viewing under all light conditions.
Premium multi-layer coatings assure the maximum light transmission through the binocular. The result is bright, crisp, true-to-life images in the widest range of viewing conditions.

The AS1715MC is a sensitive color camera with a 1/2.8" sensor and 8.46 megapixel resolution. With the Sony STARVIS technology used, this camera has low readout noise (0.72e) and ultra-high sensitivity, making it ideal for astronomical imaging of the planets and smaller
deep-sky objects and also for microscope photography.
High Transmission Speed The camera is equipped with a USB 3.0 transmission interface and a built-in 256MB DDR cache to ensure stable and secure
data transmission.
USB 3.0 Port & ST4 Guide USB 3.0 Port: Provides 5Gb bandwidth to allow AS1715MC to run at
45.1fps (10bit, high speed mode). ST4 Port: Can be used to connect with the auto guide port of mount
for guiding
.
Readout Noise Readout noise includes pixel noise, circuit noise, and ADC quantization noise. The lower the readout noise, the better. As can be seen, the readout noise of ASI715MC is very low. As the gain value goes high, the readout noise goes down.
Quantum Efficiency The QE curve and readout noise are very important parameters to measure the camera's performance. Higher QE and lower readout
noise are necessary to improve the image signal-to-noise ratio. According to our estimation, the QE peak value of ASI715MC is about80%.

Optolong L-Pro 1.25 inch is multi-bandpass filter which offers better color balance by maximizing the transmission band. The balanced transmission allows astrophotos to be taken with minimal color cast to broadband emission objects such as galaxies, reflection nebulae and globular star clusters.
Warning - Do not use this filter for solar purposes !
Optolong L-Pro (L-Professional) filter is designed to improve the visibility of various deepsky objects. By selectively reducing the transmission of wavelengths of light pollutants, specifically those produced by artificial lightings including mercury vapor lamps, both high & low pressure sodium vapor lights and the unwanted natural light caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere (i.e. skyglow). Together with the highly transparent in main nebula emission lines at OIII(496nm and 500nm), H-beta (486nm), NII(654nm and 658nm), H-alpha(656nm) as well as SII(672nm), the filter is suitable for enhancing the contrast and details for both visual and photograghic purpose at sub-rural area with heavy light pollution.
Optolong L-Pro is multi-bandpass filter which offers better color balance by maximizing the transmission band. The balanced transmission allows astrophotos to be taken with minimal color cast to broadband emission objects such as galaxies, reflection nebulae and globular star clusters. L-Pro is the best choice for light pollution suppression.
- Optical glass fine material
- Spectrum: 380-750nm
- Surface Quality: 60/40 (Refer to MIL-O-13830)
- Fine-optically polished to ensure accurate 1/4 wavefront and < 30 seconds parallelism over the both surfaces
- High transmission at major nebula emission lines (i.e. H-alpha 656nm, OIII 496nm&500nm, SII 672nm and H-beta 486nm).
- Precision off-band blocking, specifically the major emission lines of artificial light pollution (i.e. Na 589nm, Hg 435nm and 578nm).

The Astrozap AZ-116 Flexi-Shield® is a flexible dew shield designed to fit Celestron 6" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, with a notch to accommodate the side-mounted dovetail bar. It's an essential accessory for any SCT owner looking to extend observing sessions and protect image contrast.
Why you need a dew shield
Dew forms quickly on exposed corrector plates during cool Australian nights, cutting a session short. A dew shield slows dew formation by shielding the corrector from the cold night sky, while also blocking stray light from streetlamps and the Moon for noticeably sharper, higher-contrast views.
Key features
- Passive dew prevention that works without power or heaters
- Felt-lined interior absorbs moisture and suppresses internal reflections
- High-grade ABS polymer construction for durability in the field
- VELCRO® Brand fasteners with padded backing for a secure, non-marring fit
- Rolls up flat for easy transport to dark-sky sites and star parties
- Dovetail notch clears the Celestron finder shoe / side mounting rail
Compatible telescopes
- Celestron NexStar 6 SE
- Celestron 6" SCT OTAs

This iconic publication made its first appearance way back in 1962, shortly after the dawning of the Space Age. Now well into its seventh decade of production, the Yearbook continues to be essential reading for anyone lured and fascinated by the magic of astronomy and who has a desire to extend their knowledge of the Universe and the wonders to which it plays host. The Yearbook of Astronomy is indeed an inspiration to amateur and professional astronomers alike, and warrants a place on the bookshelf of all stargazers and watchers of the skies.
AUTHOR:
Brian Jones developed a fascination for astronomy at the age of five when he first saw the stars through a pair of binoculars, and his interest took him into the realms of writing sky guides for local newspapers, appearing on local radio and television, teaching astronomy and space in schools and, in 1985, becoming a full time astronomy and space writer. As well as being editor of the Yearbook of Astronomy since the 2017 edition, Brian has penned around 20 books to date which have covered a wide range of astronomy- and space-related topics for both children and adults. His passion for bringing an appreciation of the universe to his readers is reflected in his writing. The minor planet 45689 Brianjones is named after him.
