Run-off+Roof+Observatory

The primary observations to be undertaken with this telescope will be Supernovae searches to support the 20 inch Telescope and Observatory. Automated observing runs will normally be done late at night and through to the early hours of the morning. The telescope will do the 'larger' galaxies and areas of sky the dome does not/or cannot cover.

The telescope is also used for 'public outreach' and 'education'. The telescope can be accessed remotley during Sidewalk events, or from the Pex Hill observatory. Control over the telescope and CCD camera can be displayed using a PC projector. Access to the telescope is via REMOTE control Via VNC using wireless broadband (if a local connection is not availabe).
