19.01.2022 IASC has a new collaboration with Global Hands-On Universe and Our Solar Siblings. We are bringing Internet-accessible telescopes into the classroom. The teles...copes are 0.4-m in size and are from the Las Cumbres Observatory, which has a worldwide network of 12 of these instruments. The following is a test image of Comet Iwamoto taken on the evening of February 11, 2019, by IASC Technical Coordinator Raul Valadez. Images can be taken of deep sky objects such as gas and dust clouds, galaxies, open clusters, globular clusters, and planetary nebulae. Images can be taken of the planets, asteroids, and comets. There will soon be an invitation to schools and other citizen science groups interested in participating. This first invitation is limited. There will only be 50 spaces. Interested in participating??? Since you are an IASC Facebook follower, you can apply now!! Contact IASC Project Coordinator Cassidy Davis at [email protected].
