Between March 20 and March 25, 2011 a high pressure system was lingering over Central Europe and Northern Italy. Although the area where I reside is certainly not renowned for its seeing conditions, on March 24 I managed to pull off a resonably decent image of Saturn. Click on the &amp;quot;Read more...&amp;quot; link below for the full story!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alla fine di marzo 2011 un&#039;area di alta pressione ha interessato l&#039;Europa Centrale e il Nord Italia. Sebbene l&#039;area dove abito non sia particolarmente rinomata per le condizioni del seeing, il 24 marzo sono comunque riuscito a strappare un&#039;immagine decente. Cliccate sul link qua sotto (&amp;quot;Read more...&amp;quot;) per il resoconto completo!&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;http://www.bloomingstars.com:80/2011/03/28/1301303400000.html&#034;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <title>Labor Day&#039;s Saturn</title>

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&#034;justify&#034;&gt;On May 1st, 2008, I managed to take this shot of Saturn, most likely the last of this season (which has been haunted by really bad seeing conditions) until the Ringed Planet emerges back from sunlight next winter. All data are on the picture itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Il 1&amp;deg; maggio 2008 sono riuscito a realizzare questa immagine di Saturno, molto probabilmente l&#039;ultima di questa stagione (che &amp;egrave; stata contraddistinta da condizioni di seeing veramente scarso) fino al prossimo inverno, quando il &amp;quot;pianeta dagli anelli&amp;quot; riemerger&amp;agrave; dal bagliore della luce solare. Tutti i dati di ripresa sono contenuti nell&#039;immagine stessa.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div align=&#034;justify&#034;&gt;I&#039;ve recently had the opportunity to have a very close look at Lazzarotti Optics&#039; Gladius CF 315 telescope, and to actively put it through its paces, and the result was very promising.&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&#034;http://www.bloomingstars.com/bloomingstars/jsp/go.jsp?id=26&#034;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Click&amp;nbsp; here for the complete review in English!&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Ho recentemente avuto l&#039;opportunit&amp;agrave; di utilizzare personalmente il telescopio Gladius CF 315 della Lazzarotti Optics, e di metterlo alla prova sul campo in una sessione osservativa. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;http://www.bloomingstars.com/bloomingstars/jsp/go.jsp?id=25&#034;&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Cliccate qui per la completa recensione in italiano!&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

          On March 18th, 2008, the weather was once again clear, but the Foehn wind was sweeping Northern Italy&#039;s flatland, as it has (too) often happened during this past winter. No surprise the seeing was really crappy. In spite of that, I managed to pull off the following image featuring Saturn roaming the heavens with five of its satellites: &lt;br /&gt;

    <title>Due Articoli di Astronomia</title>

          E&#039; passato un bel po&#039; di tempo dall&#039;ultima pubblicazione su questo sito di qualcosa legato all&#039;astronomia; inoltre, non aggiorno la galleria di immagini da oltre un anno, e adesso mi trovo con un notevole arretrato di immagini. Vorrei inoltre risistemare il motore di gestione della galleria, dato che la gestione via FTP con &lt;a href=&#034;http://jalbum.net&#034;&gt;JAlbum&lt;/a&gt; (che per altro &amp;egrave; un ottimo prodotto) &amp;egrave; diventata ormai insostenibile. Ma bando alle ciance, e andiamo al sodo:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Resoconto sull&#039;eclisse totale di Luna del 3 marzo 2007: &lt;a href=&#034;http://www.bloomingstars.com/bloomingstars/jsp/go.jsp?id=15&#034;&gt;cliccate qui&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Resoconto sull&#039;occultazione lunare di Saturno del 22 maggio 2007: &lt;a href=&#034;http://www.bloomingstars.com/bloomingstars/jsp/go.jsp?id=17&#034;&gt;cliccate qui&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
Ambedue gli articoli sono in italiano. Come al solito, ogni eventuale riscontro &amp;egrave; pi&amp;ugrave; che ben accetto!&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;http://www.bloomingstars.com:80/2007/08/20/1187598540000.html&#034;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

          It&#039;s been quite a while since I last posted something astronomy related; plus, I haven&#039;t been updating my image gallery for a year, and now I have a huge backlog of pictures. I would like to rengineer my gallery engine, since FTP-based management with &lt;a href=&#034;http://jalbum.net&#034; target=&#034;_blank&#034;&gt;JAlbum&lt;/a&gt; (which is a very cool product, by the way) has become a real pain in the butt. But &#039;nuff said, let&#039;s go back to the real stuff:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Report on the total lunar eclipse of March 3rd, 2007: &lt;a href=&#034;http://www.bloomingstars.com/bloomingstars/jsp/go.jsp?id=16&#034;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Report on Saturn&#039;s occultation of May 22nd, 2007: &lt;a href=&#034;http://www.bloomingstars.com/bloomingstars/jsp/go.jsp?id=18&#034;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
Both articles are in English. As usual, enjoy and let me know. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;http://www.bloomingstars.com:80/2007/08/20/1187597880000.html&#034;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

          Eccolo. Il mio primo articolo di astronomia &amp;egrave; stato pubblicato nel numero di marzo 2007 della rivista&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&#034;http://www.coelum.com/&#034;&gt;Coelum&lt;/a&gt; . Questa per me &amp;egrave; davvero una fantastica notizia!&lt;br /&gt;

          &lt;div align=&#034;justify&#034;&gt;Here it comes. My first astronomy article ever will be published in the upcoming March 2007 of the Italian &lt;a href=&#034;http://www.coelum.com&#034;&gt;Coelum&lt;/a&gt; magazine. This is really good news to me. &lt;br /&gt;

          On the 13th of december, &lt;a href=&#034;http://www.tidalwave.it&#034;&gt;Fabrizio Giudici&lt;/a&gt; and I will be giving a short talk (as a BOF session) on a Java-based parallel computing project of ours. This very application describes an application of parallel computing to image processing, with a view also to astronomy-oriented tasks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find the full description of our BOF session &lt;a href=&#034;http://www.javapolis.com/confluence/display/JP06/Parallel+Computing%2C+the+new+frontier+of+WORA&#034;&gt;at this link&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;http://www.bloomingstars.com:80/2006/12/11/1165849740000.html&#034;&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
