Themed Observing Days - 12th 23rd and 26th March

As mentioned previously, we are going to run several themed observing days to image M101 as a large Mosaic. These will be held on the 12th, 23rd and 26th March 2010.

We have set up something different for booking your slots this time, hopefully making it easier to handle your requests; a Doodle Page has been set up at the following address:

Messier March

March is Messier Month on Faulkes Telescope North. So come on and book yourself a slot on the telescope and get imaging! This is an ideal opportunity for all of you who have not used your account yet or for a while to have a go.

We would like you to image as many Messier Objects as you can, process them and send them to us at
