Instructors: Dr. Christian Sasse, Astronomer-in-charge, and Leigh Moore, Chief Software Developer iTelescope
Summary: In this instructional video, Christian will guide you through the iTelescope website and how to navigate the iTelescope launchpad/dashboard).
As part of this instructional video, Dr. Sasse shows you how to use the iTelescope planner, combined with information on the Telescopius website, to help you plan your imaging session, both in terms of the best telescope to use and the best time to start imaging. For this demonstration, Christian uses the Iris Nebula as the target and T11 located at the Utah Desert Remote Observatory. He then shows you how to set up a reservation for the telescope to run the imaging plan you created.
This is a wonderful opportunity for new (and advanced) members to learn how to navigate the iTelescope website, the launchpad, and the planner and to also learn some basic image processing. We hope you enjoy this video!
