Faulkes Telescope Yr 7 16th July 2010

Apart from the first image of a globular cluster, M2, (left), which didn't come up with anything, the rest of the viewing session went well.





The students controlling the telescope in Hawaii today were: Jacob Miller, Verity Game, Will Hopkins, Euan Palmer and (for a few seconds, before we ran out of time) Rhys Newman.

The sky was clear and we managed to get three good images:
