Hope to join you all later for this (if work permits it....) Hope everyone is doing well

All the best to FLO, IKI and all involved with this project. Looking forward to following it. I have had experience using remote telescopes with @Helen primarily through Faulkes and SALSA. They are a great resource for everyone involved. As for science imaging. Would you consider opening the observatory up to 'Targets of Opportunity' (i.e. GRB, SN, X-ray systems in outburst etc) to contribute to the data collection of those systems?

Old picture time....I'm sure my parents and brother won't mind me sharing this.......... I was in Dartmouth for the day, it is one of my childhood memories, although I do remember the British weather getting in the way and us only being able to see little bits of the eclipse when the clouds thinned a bit.

@Helen That looks great, we will definately need the try that out......maybe a cheeky meetup before hand to 'hone our skills'

Acces to a couple of 2m scopes - what would you image and why?
SimonS replied to Helen's topic in SGL SP2018
Oooo think I still have access to these Some spectra might be interesting, a bit different but still interesting and I have used before..... My favourite observation using these was the Eagle Nebula in H-alpha, although pretty low in the sky at the moment if would be nice to have that done again -
Looks good hoping for a dry spell when I set up on friday Can just about see my pitch on the left there
