Museum event

LCOGT at National Museum of Wales

To mark the start of National Science Week 2008 and the opening of a new exhibition in the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff, LCOGT was asked to attend a space themed day, last Saturday.

 

Edward Gomez and Jon Yardley setup a stand with laptops for the general public to use to make colour images from archive Faulkes Telescope data (using Adobe Photoshop elements with the ESA, FITS liberator plugin) and explore solar system (using the free software Celestia).

 

  • Existing collaborators can apply for observing time.
  • Our archive of scientific observations with the Faulkes Telescopes.
  • A scientific community forum.
  • Monitoring microlensing events in the Galactic Bulge.
  • Lectures about astronomy by scientists visiting LCOGT
  • See what is happening at our network sites.
