Hawaiian Astronomical Society Storybook

Hawaiian Astronomical Society - Deepsky Atlas Hawaiian Astronomical Society Constellations: Stories and a Deepsky Atlas HAS Home Search All Sky Maps Constellations Listing Deepsky Listings Jay Wrathall's Messiers The Hawaiian Astronomical Society Storybook and Deepsky Atlas is a long term effort to provide a good online atlas of the heavens, combined with photographs of significant objects, and their descriptions. A second goal involves mapping the sky, using the following plan: Each constellation will receive a wide area map. There follows more detailed maps of the constellation, beginning in its northeast quadrant, and moving counter-clockwise around the constellation. Obviously, we had to make allowances for some peculiar shapes. We thank Software Bisque's The Sky for Windows for making this possible. A third goal involves telling the story(ies) behind the constellation. Many good stories from both Greco-Roman, and other civilizations enrich our culture. We thank Kayoko Calef for much of the research in this area. Many constellations, particularly the southern ones, have no myth associated with them. For their "myth" section, I have added biographies of the scientists associated with them. We know of no other site that has attempted combining detailed maps, deepsky objects, and myth into individual constellation pages. That said, certain elements have been tried, and they need mentioning. SEDS has become a huge repository of astronomical images. Their cross-referenced Messier catalog (maintained by Hartmut Frommert ) has become the Internet standard. SEDS combines scientific data, images, and crude maps. These pages use this fine work. Thus, you will find many links to SEDS here. See also SEDS' mirror site . The Peoria Astronomical Society provides another Messier survey of the sky , as part of their Astronomical Handbook . For other deepsky image catalogs, click here . Finally, there is the Digital Sky Survey, a huge project entering its second generation. This is a monochrome CCD record of the entire sky. Generation one is a more superficial scan of the sky. Generation two achieves the depth of a longer focus 10-12" telescope. A half degree field takes up to two megabytes. You can access the survey easily through the HAS Web site, thanks to the work of Gary Ward. This is an ambitious project that will take time to realize. Meanwhile, there is already much to explore and enjoy. Return to HAS Main Menu If you have any questions about the Hawaiian Astronomical Society please (link requires javascript).

Hawaiian City Garden

Hawaii Vacation in Lanai City - Hotel Lanai - Lodging near the island of Maui Hawaii Vacation in Lanai City - Hotel Lanai - Lodging near the island of Maui Just a few of the things to do while on Lanai: -Jeep Adventures -Tennis -Scuba Diving/Snorkel Excursions -Mountain Biking -Day Ferry Excursions to Lanai & Maui -Fishing Charters -Horseback Riding -Championship Golf -Sporting Clays -Hiking -Spa Treatments -Whale Watching (Dec.-May) -Hunting -Lei Making and Crafts From Mauka (mountain), to Makai (sea) activities on Lanai are endless. If you are here for a little R&R, it's the perfect place. If you are looking for some fun or are in search of an adventure, you will find it here. If you are looking for something different, there is plenty to try. If you want to stay on the rugged side of things, you can find numerous hiking and mountain biking areas. Horseback riding has also become a popular activity within the area. If you prefer the traditional sports, test your skills on any of the local championship golf courses or go play a few sets at area tennis courts. You can also take aim with any of the sporting clay and hunting areas locally available. For those of you who prefer to play in the water a bit, try scuba diving or snorkel excursions with Trilogy Ocean Sports. Spa treatments, day ferry excursions to Lanai, whale watching (Dec-May), and fishing charters are just a few of the activities that will give you the chance to "get your feet wet." For everyone else, there is a wide variety of Lei making, crafts, and much, much more. Places to visit: The Munro Trail : Named for George Munro, the New Zealand naturalist who planted Lanai's magnificent pines, this eight mile four wheel drive and hiking trail starts about a mile north of Lanai City and climbs in a southeasterly direction through impressive rain forests and deep canyons. It leads to the 3,370-foot Lanai Hale, the highest point on the island. On a clear day, all of Hawaii's islands, except Kaua'i and Ni'ihau, can be seen from this perch. Manele Bay & Hulopo'e Beach : A section of paved highway 440 known as Manele Road links Lanai City with picturesque Manele Bay, which has a small boat harbor with slips for local boats and tour boats from Maui. West of this port is Hulopo'e the island's most beautiful and safest swimming beach. It is the only picnic site on Lanai that has tables, barbecues, showers and rest rooms. The Bay and Hulopo'e beach are part of a marine conservancy district, which means outstanding snorkeling. Kaumalapau Harbor : Another paved stretch of Highway 440 which, like the one to Manele Bay, cuts through miles of what used to be pineapple fields and is now hay fields, connects Lanai City with this main island port. Pineapples, vehicles and freight are shipped out from this harbor. Other than this activity the simple harbor is of little interest to outsiders, but the dramatic views of the sea, high bluffs, and jagged cliffs on the stretch of the coast are worth the six-mile ride from town. Kaunolu Village : Also on the south coast, about midway between Kaumalapau Harbor and Hulopo'e Beach, are the remains of a once busy fishing community. Scattered on a bluff above the ocean, these ruins of more than 80 homes and other structures are said to be the most extensive and best preserved in the state. A national historical landmark, Kaunolu lies at the end of a rugged three-mile jeep trail that can be traveled only when the soil is dry. This area was a favored summertime playground of a great King of the Hawaiian Islands, King Kamehameha the Great. From the cliffs high above the sea at Kahekili's deep leap, Kamehameha's soldiers proved their courage by plunging more than 60 feet into the ocean. Garden of the Gods : This is a fascinating canyon of wind carved sand and lava formations whose colors change throughout the day. Legend has it, that the rock formations were created by the gods. It is said that the gods like making art and this is where they would make their sculptures. The gods would make strong winds to sculpt their rock art formations. That is why there is no grass or trees in the garden of the gods, just dirt and stones surround. Legend tells us, it is bad luck to tamper with the artwork of the gods. So be respectful when visiting this sacred place. Polihua Beach : Just beyond Garden of the Gods, this trail snakes for a few miles down to a two-mile long white sand beach. This secluded, dreamy stretch of white sand is not recommended for swimming because of strong currents, but noted for excellent surfing. Great for picnicking or just strolling along the beach. Shipwreck Beach : Highway 440, also known as Keomoku road, leads from town to Lanai's northeast or windward coast. This narrow and winding road climbs high over the middle of the island and offers are stunning views of both Moloka'i and Maui as well as the abandoned, rusting hulls of two fairly large ships that gave the four-mile beach of white sand its name. Most of the eight mile stretch of road is paved until you reach a dirt road, which takes you left, into the entrance of the beach. Keomoku Village : At the end of the paved portion of Highway 440 (Keomoku Road) a dirt road branches right along the coast. Following this road about six miles will bring you to the site of the Maunalei Sugar Company, (it's said that if one hikes far into the trees toward the mountains, you'll find the remainders of the train tracks that was used to haul sugar cane). Having failed in 1901, all but one of the decaying buildings were razed in the early 1970's. Left standing was the Hawaiian Church. Legend maintains that sacred stones, placed by the Gods, were moved to build this fishing village. As a result, the water turned brackish and forced the villagers to leave. Lanai Weekly events : Saturday Market in Dole park: A weekly gathering of local vendors, as they proudly present authentic fares. Local grown vegetables, potted plants and a cultural mix of Hawaiian, Japanese, and Filipino delicacies can be found. Local artists and craft makers may also display their works of art here. Lanai Theatre : First run movies are played from Friday through Tuesday evenings. Two shows at 6:30 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. Special events : Lanai Visiting Artist Program: Throughout the calendar year the island community and visitors have a unique opportunity to meet and mingle with world-famous virtuosos of literature, music, film, fine arts and the culinary world.

Hawaiian quilt for a

Club EQ June 2004 Results (page 3) <<< Home <<< Albums Club EQ Album: June 2004 Challenge: Hawaiian Appliqué! Page 3 Design a block in the Hawaiian appliqué style, which means it can be cut as one piece from a square of fabric folded into a 1/8 wedge with one edge of the wedge on the bias and the other on the straight of grain. Your project file should include the single wedge as one block and the full design that wedge would make as a another block. You may create a block or a motif (a block without a block outline). Also include a quilt that uses your Hawaiian appliqué block. Your design does not have to use Hawaiian figures, only the appliqué style. -Barb Vlack Photos: 1-32 33-64 65-96 97-124 Clickon any quilt to see a larger version.

Omaha, Nebraska LaVonne M. Dunetts Nebraska Hawiian A fun, simple design. Omaha, Nebraska Linda Dawson Porcupine Star This design used straight lines only and resembles a star, but the lines are not smooth, therefore the reference to the porcupine. St Petersburg, Florida Linda Dawson Fern Frenzy The laciness of this design reminded me of ferns frons as they uncurl from the base of the plant. St Petersburg, Florida Quilt 69 Quilt 70 Quilt 71 Quilt 72 Linda MacDougall Hawaiian Rainbow Butterflies If this were machine appliqued, it would look nice done with black thread to set off the vibrant colors and tie in the black accent borders. Murrieta, CA Linda MacDougall Tequila Sunrise Butterflies The simple blocks in the corners and the borders are a nice contrast to the curves in the center. Murrieta, CA Lynn Ann Majidimehr Dragonflies I've been working on a dragonfly quiltj pattern, and decided to try to design a hawaiian style dragonfly quilt. Woodinville, WA 2004 Lynn Ann Majidimehr Iris with Hearts The iris are blooming at my house, so I thought I'd see if I could make a hawaiian style iris pattern. The hearts just seemed to fit the space between them. Woodinville, WA 2004 Quilt 73 Quilt 74 Quilt 75 Quilt 76 Linda Webb Moyer Maui Turtles Remembers me of a trip to Hawaii. Jacksonville, Arkansas Lynne Chambliss Sun Kachina This design is an adaptation of Hopi Sun Kachina dolls and dancers. The symbols used in the squares around the central design are traditional Native American symbols; not necessarily Hopi. The colors chosen stand for turquoise stone and the warmth of the sun. Tucson, AZ, USA Mary Allenspach Guardians Since I'm not into flowers, I was thinking butterflies. Then thoughts of my new grandchild made me think of angels and the design "flew" in. Layout was On-point Medallion 4. A darker, larger border will shrink the look of the center panel. Rolling Meadows IL & Winchester WI Mary Allenspach Star Crossed Angels Layout was Star - 1, fire colors make me think of playful angels. Quilt 77 Quilt 78 Quilt 79 Quilt 80 Marje Rhine Hawaiian Pansy I actually designed this Hawaiian quilt for a Nancy Chong class taught at Quilt University and I designed it using EQ.

Anyone who has seen my previous challenge entries knows that I am extremely fond of cats, and I try to incorporate them into most of my designs. The block in this quilt is an original design that I came up with by playing with some of the cat motifs in the EQ library. Quilt 85 Quilt 86 Quilt 87 Quilt 88 Merry Endres Hawaiian Baltimore Album The blocks in this quilt were inspired by designs in Elizabeth Root's book "Hawaiian Quilting" (Dover Needlework Series). Once I started drawing these designs, I couldn't stop! Placed as they are on this quilt, I am reminded a bit of a Baltimore Album Quilt. Miriana En Flagrente in Camouflage Each block was drawn in either patchdraw or easy draw. I have had quite a learning curve doing this. I am a total newbie at this kind of block designing. I have seen many hawaiin quilts online and found that they vary quite a bit. So, I thought I would try it this way.

Idaho, USA Paula Ross Hawaiian Rorschach I tried to get a feel for the ocean, with flowing, undulating curves in this block. Made up with reds and yellows it could resemble lava flows. When I was finished I realized it might resemble a Rorschach inkblot test more than the ocean! Idaho, USA Photos: 1-32 33-64 65-96 97-124
