Young people interested in astronomy camped for a week through Zselickisfaludon. The main attraction was August's starry lava, but thanks to the excellent features of the area, the pale, but more exciting, clusters of stars, mists and galaxies could be observed among the stars.
They were fascinated by the bushes of the bushes, including a special tool of about half a meter in diameter, who had been on Zselickisfaludon in the days. Zselic is one of the most ideal locations in Hungary for observing the sky. Thanks to the minimal light pollution, the landscape protection area has also been certified by the International Csistabolt park park. The light of the settlements is barely noticeable on the horizon, so they do not hide the exciting bodies.
Therefore, the small village of Somogy and the Zselici Csillagpark near it hosted the Vega Astronomical Association camp. The astronomical event, which has been held for 27 years, from all over the country, is a classic wandering camp, year after year with a new location and a long lasting popularity. This time, more than seventy of them searched the sky during the one-week program, including 10 Croatian participants.
In the program of the camp, there were practical lectures in addition to lectures. With the common astrophysics and telescope education began the week, later on, independently and jointly observed the celestial bodies. Of course, Perseid's meteorite was the star attraction of the main attraction, but the universe also had many other attractions: planets, stars, galaxies. Many have taken their own binoculars, but the astonishing telescope of 46 cm in diameter has been taken care of by the Vega Astronomical Association. The program also included a visit to the Zselici Csillagpark Planetarium operated by SEFAG Zrt., Where it was also possible to observe observation of solar system.
In the camp, a number of interested young amateur astronomers, as well as astrophysics and researchers working in both domestic and foreign research institutes were present. One of the best-known Hungarian astrophysicists, Schmall Rafael of Zselici Csillagpark, and Dr. Csizmadia Szilárd, exoplanet researcher, scientist of the German Air and Space Research Center.
