The Bradford Robotic Telescope has been down for re-fitting over Summer, but now it's back!
In the last week before the school holidays we had a 'Space Day' with the children in my class. One of the children (Kris) submitted a job to the BRT for the Dumbell Galaxy (M27), Kris was quite excited about seeing this 'object' in space from the BRT so here it is in all it's glory! Not an easy object to image with a telescope as it is very feint and ghostly.
Last night I submitted a job to see if I could capture Uranus...watch this space...might be a disaster but we'll see!
