Cymande - Equatorial Forest
Cymande were an eclectic band who released several albums throughout the early seventies. The group was formed in 1971 in London, England by musicians from Guyana and Jamaica. The name Cymande is derived from a Calypso word for Dove, which symbolizes peace and love. The group developed a subtle and complex, deep funk style influenced by calypso rhythms, jazz, African music, American soul and UK rock of the time. Cymande can now be seen as one of the most sophisticated of the funk acts that evolved in the early 1970s. By the mid-70s the band members were going their separate ways and the group was disbanded in 1974. It wasn't until 20 years later that they reaped any financial rewards, as their music became a popular source for samplers. Cymande's original albums are still widely sought-after by DJ's and funk aficionados. Perhaps the band's best known recording is the soulful dancefloor filler called "Bra", which was later sampled by the American hip-hop group De La Soul and used as a breakbeat record by the godfathers of hip-hop Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash. Cymande was accidentally discovered by English producer John Schroeder in a Soho, London club where they were rehearsing. He was there to see a rock band. But the gig had been cancelled and he stumbled upon this unique collection of West Indian musicians. He soon signed the band and recorded their intial single "The Message." The single was released by Janus Records, a division of Chess Records. The track reached number 20 on the US R&B and Pop charts. This set the stage for Cymande's self titled release in 1972. Cymande traveled to New York after the success of the first LP, and began a tour of the US with Al Green. They also shared a few bills with the latin funk ensemble Mandrill. They played a few important venues, including The Apollo, and played a gig on Soul Train. The band released three LPs for Janus. However, their final album, "Promised Heights" which shows Cymande developing their distinctive chilled funk/jazz sound was not released in the USA where Cymande had achieved their initial success. Promised Heights included one of their most cherished tracks, "Brothers on the Slide," along with "The Recluse," the downtempo jazz/funk of "Changes," and the slow funk churner "Promised Heights." The tracks "Brothers on the Slide," and "Bra," also were staples of the new Rare Groove/ Deep House scene which developed in London and New York night clubs during the eighties. Members of the band reunited for a performance in Brighton (UK) on May 19, 2006 during the UK Funk All-Stars night at the Corn Exchange. It formed part of the Brighton Festival 2006. Members * Ray King - Vocals/Percussion * Steve Scipio - Bass * Derek Gibbs - Soprano/Alto * Pablo Gonsales - Congas * Joey Dee - Vocals/Percussion * Peter Serreo - Tenor * Sam Kelly - Drums * Mike Rose - Alto/Flute/Bongos * Patrick Patterson - Guitar * Jimmy Lindsey - Vocals/ Percussion (Promised Heights LP) |

Star Drift Method for Polar Alignment of Equatorial Mounts
I explain how to polar align an equatorial mount using the star drift method. This is the spoken text: This video illustrates the principle of the star drift method for polar alignment of an equatorial mount. A rough alignment is first performed by pointing the RA axis of the mount towards Polaris. The up-and-down tilt of the RA axis is called the altitude adjustment and the left-right adjustment [is called] the azimuth adjustment. We will illustrate here the azimuth adjustment for the northern hemisphere. This black line on the skyboard stands for the actual path of a star during the night. We choose a star that is close to the southern meridian and near the celestial equator. It will rise in the southeast and set in the southwest. I drew the black line by pointing my meccano mount straight towards the skyboard and turning the torch around the RA axis. This is the star going across the sky and the bright disk of light represents the view I would have in my telescope, perfectly aligned so the star stays centred. I will now turn the mount counterclockwise in azimuth a bit and see how it tracks my artificial star. The dots follow the track my, now misaligned, mount makes in the sky. Notice that the star appears to rise relative to the track the mount makes. So if the star appears to rise, it means we need to turn the mount in azimuth a bit clockwise. If it appears to fall, we need to turn the mount counterclockwise. Hopefully, this process will terminate(!) and we have a good alignment. So, what about the altitude adjustment? For the altitude adjustment we pick a star in the east. Here I've drawn again a star rising in the east, by just turning the mount in the RA axis. So what would happen if my altitude was a bit lower, say, I was tracking there? Well, the star would appear to rise faster than my mount. So if the star rises I just have to turn my mount a bit up and if it's falling I have to turn my mount a bit down. |

Equatorial Experiments
Find out what happens when you're stood on the equator. We visted Ecuador in September 2006, and took a trip to Mitad Del Mundo (Middle of the World). Where there's a line that marks the Equator. Unfortunately they got it wrong, and built the monument 200 metres off. So now there's 2 lines! one real one not! |

Equatorial Platform
This is one of the first test runs of my new equatorial platform for the spherical mount telescope (similar to Portaball) It provides approximately 50 minutes of tracking time. The Hurst step motor with 1/300 built in reduction turns @ ~ 17.56 rpm with a 1/3" shaft giving a total reduction of 25218.75 and this would turn the platform once in every 86164.09 seconds. Motor controller is PIC based and power supply is 12 V DC. |
