Remote Observing

Remote Observing is a new project that aims to bring the fun and excitement of observing to AWB groups around the world. The idea is to have AWB groups control remote telescopes online, share their sessions with other groups, and to collaborate on observing projects.

The Remote Observing project kicked off with an event on Sept 25, in collaboration with with Dr. Gianluca Masi of the Virtual Observatory. Read the report and see the images from this first event.

Big Dipper to Southern Cross took place in January 2010, on the 8th in the northern hemisphere and on the 10th in the southern hemisphere. A total of 7500 people from more than 80 countries took part in the two-part event. The sky of each hemisphere was highlighted for the benefit of residents of the other hemisphere.
