Educational Resources
The resources in this section are for teachers or students who are participating with us as we pilot our education program in the US. We are currently have limited access for teachers to an 18 inch telescope in Australia. We are using it to help us develop and test resources for teachers. If you are interested in participating with us in our pilot program, please contact us.
These resources will get you started with planning a session, viewing images, downloading FITS files, and image processing.
Until we have more telescopes available during the US school day, US teachers and students are encouraged to register for an account and explore our archive.

This section describes how to use ACP, the the interface for the telescope, and the RTI (Real Time Interface for our 2 meter telescope in Hawaii). |
