    The first CCD photometric UBVRI observations of the open clusters NGC 1857 (Czernik 20, OCl 427) and Czernik 25 (OCl 493) are presented. The observations were obtained on 28 November 2003 with the 2m Himalayan Chandra ...
  • Narrow band photometry of Comet Halley in the emission bands and the continuum 
    Babu, G. S. D; Nathan, J. S; Rajamohan, R; Sivaraman, K. R (Astronomical Society of Indian, 1989-09)
    IHW filter photometry of Comet Halley was carried out on seven nights during pre-perihelion period and on six nights during post-perihelion period, using the 40-cm telescope at the Vainu Bappu Observatory, Kavalur, as a ...
  • Observing conditions for optical astronomy at Leh 
    Singh, J; Bhattacharyya, J. C; Babu, G. S. D; Ashoka, B. N; Appakutty, M; Rangarajan, K. E; Kutty, K. N; Moorthy, V; Selvakumar, G; Michael, P; Muniyandi, A; Gabriel, F (Astronomical Society of India, 1989-09)
    The sky and atmospheric conditions at Leh have been monitored since 1984 with a view to determining its suitability as a site for a high-altitude observatory. During May-November, 1987, relative humidity and other parameters ...
  • Programme for the restoration of the masonry instruments at Delhi Jantar Mantar 
    Babu, G. S. D; Venugopal, V. R (Astronomical Society of India, 1993)
    In 1724 AD, Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II of Jaipur built a large observatory at Delhi comprising of huge masonry instruments, with which he made careful observations of the celestial objects. He then built four other similar ...
