The MicroObservatory

Caption

Located in northern Chile, this is one of 5 automated telescopes in the MicroObservatory Robotic Telescope Network. Youth Astronomy Network participants go online to choose their astronomical targets and telescope camera settings; their image is taken that night and appears in their accounts the next day, ready for processing and analysis.
