Phil tours the universe with the Slooh Observatory's telescopes every month in his hour-long 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 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. Slooh Chile came on-line in 2009, affording users unprecedented access to the magnificent southern hemisphere. Like the Mt. Teide telescopes, the Chilean Slooh observatory includes a Celestron C14 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and a wide-field apochromatic refractor. The most recent Slooh installation is in Australia, featuring a "high mag" large aperture teamed with a "wide-field" small aperture. Thanks to the time difference, "group missions," as they are called, run nearly 24/7, given clear skies. In addition to viewing objects in real time, subscribers can also save images for later viewing and processing, as well as reserve personal time on the telescopes. |
