Live Internet Telescope Project
26 Oct,2011 to 2 Nov,2011
SPACE is proud to bring the ‘Internet Telescope’ project for the first time to India. SPACE is conducting this project in collaboration with IASC, International Astronomy Search Collaboration. A pilot test was conducted in July 2011 and a second pilot test will be conducted from Oct 26th to Nov 2nd, 2011. These pilot projects will enable us to launch Internet Telescope as a big Project in April 2012 with about 80 participants from across India.
The project will be using a 16" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes located at the Ironwood North Observatory. This is a privately-owned observatory located in Queen Creek, AZ. The students will be remotely commanding a CCD camera on the telescope to take images of asteroids, comets, and deep sky objects. The deep sky objects include star clusters, galaxies, and nebulae.For some spectacular images taken using the internet telescope, please go to the link: https://picasaweb.google.com/109156850798846600382/InternetTelescopeProjectOctNov2011
