The campus observing facilities will be available to the public, online, every Monday night of the year for 2 hours.
Not only will images from the 40 cm and 60 cm reflecting telescopes be transmitted to the website, images from a wide-field refractor as well as the campus All-sky Meteor camera will be visible. An interactive chat session will allow questions from the public to be answered by members of the Observatory team who will be hosting this experience. Depending on the observing conditions, requests will be taken and if possible, will be added to the viewing live.
