Will data from the mission be publicly accessible?

Beautiful. I see several smaller structures that look like roll off roof/small dome observatories. Are those remotely controlled? Is the main building still operational? Who manages the facility?

Wow!

Agree. But I expect that long before billions die from climate change, an asteroid will beat it to it. We are well overdue for such an event.

Cocoon nebula shot with GRI sloan filters. Just upgraded the GBO scope with a asi 6200 camera. Test shot.

Last week I was out at the observatory upgrading our imaging system. We installed an ASI 6200mm and modified the filter wheel. We now have BVR and GRIZ filters so I took this shot of the Cocoon nebula with the Sloan filters for fun!

We'll get back to exoplanet work soon...

We went in the evening with Tom and was only there long enough to take a group photos. I plan to go back and take the longer tour next summer. I will be sure to look for that exhibit.

100" Hooker telescope at Mt. Wilson Observatories

Just back from a 5 night speckle observation run at Mt. Wilson. We used the Hale 60" telescope for our data collection, but did get a chance to visit the 100" Hooker telescope. If you're interested in attending our next speckle run, please let me know. I will be leading the event. #astronomy 🔭

I went to your feed but you have no post. When you have some of your images posted please apply again. Meanwhile you can monitor the feeds without need of signing up. Also using the hashtag #astronomy will work for those who follow the tag.

I run a 12 week seminar that takes them through the process of selecting, analyzing, and preparing a paper for submission to the JDSO. We gather data using the GBO telescope.

The key to getting a paper submitted is to follow a set of guidelines I provide for construction of the paper.

I am pleased to report that one of my Binary Star Class students had her paper published last week. In all 11 students submitted their work from the class to JDSO.

Just started data gathering on T CrB and later tonight a special project from 1-4AM on MG1-1995959. We're back in the light at GBO.

I am a moron... Thanks for pointing it out. I was running three scopes and not paying close enough attention. Sigh...
