Projects
By BudWheizzah

For now, we're simply getting started: Learning how to align the telescope, track objects with high precision, learn the image processing software and get familiar with both the use of a telescope and a CCD imager.

Once we're able to take very basic pictures, we'll start filling up this section with projects we'll be starting with the progress on each as the go along.

On the short term, we're thinking of making small prime-focus mosaics of the Andromeda Galaxy and other large objects. Long term, we'd like to make large-scale mosaics of regions of our sky.

It's even possible that we conduct a bit of research with the data we'll be gathering.

Keep an eye up on this section for more, soon!
