The ADC primarily serves the professional astronomy community. However, amateurs can find many of the ADC's catalogs useful for their hobby. This page includes information on using ADC resources for amateur astronomy and links to selected external resources that may be of interest.

Amateur Astronomy Uses of ADC The Astronomical Data Center specializes in archiving and distributing collections of data that have been published by professional astronomers. Most of these data sets are in the form of computer-readable tables of numbers, rather than images. Amateur astronomers can find these data collections useful in looking up the properties and locations of celestial objects. This can help amateurs plan for observing sessions, and help them to better understand what they've observed. Please see our

Endorsed by the International Dark-Sky Association, American Astronomical Society, and the Astronomical League, event participation grows each year as the public becomes more aware of light pollution and its effects on our everyday lives and the environment.

Canadian Astronomers On Hunt For Meteor
Mar 7, 2008 astronomers from The University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, have captured rare video of a meteor falling to Earth.
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-03/uowo-cao030708.php

Extractions: University of Western Ontario Astronomers from The University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, have captured rare video of a meteor falling to Earth. The Physics and Astronomy Department at Western has a network of all-sky cameras in Southern Ontario that scan the sky monitoring for meteors. Associate Professor Peter Brown, who specializes in the study of meteors and meteorites, says that Wednesday evening (March 5) at 10:59 p.m. EST these cameras captured video of a large fireball and the department has also received a number of calls and emails from people who actually saw the light. Brown along with Wayne Edwards, a post doctorate student, hope to enlist the help of local residents in recovering one or more possible meteorites that may have crashed in the Parry Sound area. Most meteoroids burn up by the time they hit an altitude of 60 or 70 kilometres from Earth, says Edwards. We tracked this one to an altitude of about 24 kilometres so we are pretty sure there are at least one, and possibly many meteorites, that made it to the ground. Edwards says the lab can narrow the ground location where the meteorite would have fallen, to about 12 square kilometres and have created a map that may assist in locating the meteorite. The rock, or rocks, would probably weigh a kilogram or slightly more.
