Description
Summary:The Observatorium Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) is an urban telescope located in close proximity to city lights. Light pollution monitoring is performed using a Sky Quality Meter and an All Sky Camera, revealing a maximum Night Sky Brightness (NSB) value of 18 mag/arcsec2. A 17-inch Planewave Telescope housed in a 5-meter dome is used to image nebulae and galaxies. Portable telescopes are used to observe the crescent moon, with the use of a buffle and stacking techniques enabling daytime imaging. Lunar elongation and altitude data were obtained to assess the telescope’s capabilities and site feasibility.
