Cosmic Adventures

This is an inreach program for club members (OCA membership is required) that provides access to robotic telescopes at no cost to memebers and other professional astronomy resources and is divided into two portals.

For more information click on the blue links, and to register click here.

The Cosmic Adventures is an opportunity to use observational data from remote telescopes to do research and/or image processing. It is divided into two portals:

The Imaging Portal is to do remote observations through the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, and image processing with the SalsaJ software. It is aimed at members of all ages. We suggest parents supervise elementary and junior high students. Extensive help files and mentoring are available within the portal.

The Citizen Science Portal involves members in more advanced astronomy as citizen scientists doing asteroid searches and double star measurements and other projects.

To become involved in either portal, participants must be or become a member of the Orange County Astronomers. Instructions and guides will be provided after sign up. Thanks to the organizations involved you can enjoy these resources cost-free.
