Observing – with a mirror…

Posted by chrislintott in Uncategorized

Hello from Tucson, Arizona, where I’ve arrived on the first Galaxy Zoo observing run. Unlike previous adventures on Hawai’i (which had mixed results), this is my first run on an optical telescope. One with a mirror. That takes pictures. I’ll be blogging the experience here and on the Galaxy Zoo blog, but to get some of the background head over there to read Bill Keel’s guide to what we’re doing.

Update : First post up at the Galaxy Zoo blog. Now off to dinner.

    And our howls of despair at not having managed to sneak into your suitcases . . . http://www.galaxyzooforum.org/index.php?topic=9102.msg131182#msg131182 ;-)

    Hope it goes brilliantly, Chris and Bill and everyone – keep us in the picture! Safe flight and all the best.

    It’s a tough job Chris (and Bill) but someone’s got to do it!
    Clear skies!
