Phil tours the
universe with the Slooh Observatory's telescopes every month during his one-hour
webcast entitled Phil Harrington's Star Watch.
Slooh
is a state-of-the-art concept that mates a live, well-equipped robotic observatory
located on Mount Teide in the Canary Islands with the immediacy of the
Internet. Every clear night, subscribers can view dozens of
preselected objects as the Slooh instruments automatically move, or slew,
from one to the next. Presently, Slooh has two telescopes in
service: a Celestron C14 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and a Tele Vue TV85 apochromatic
refractor. Each has a CCD imager attached. There is also an all-sky
fisheye camera with a field of view of 175 degrees. A second set of
telescopes is used for "solo missions."
Thanks
to the time difference,
"group missions," as they are called, typically begin in the
mid-afternoon Eastern
time and continue until the early morning hours. In addition to
viewing objects in real time, subscribers can also save images for later
viewing and processing. Subscribers can also request personal time
on the telescopes.
