Mixed Results

We have been using the Telescope for the past few days with mixed results. It has been raining a lot in Australia and there have been many other problems, see the example below. Despite this we finally managed to get a good few images on the Southern Telescope. We have learned a lot about observing over the last few weeks and are hoping for the best because the projects will be judged soon. We have been in contact with Edward Gomez from the LCOGT and he has helped us with our project which has been very challenging in many ways.











For the past week we have been cleaning up the blog, putting in pictures and checking spelling on the posts. School is finishing this week so a lot was happening (test etc.) It was hard to get the whole team in one place for our group photo and to get our observing time done every day. We still managed to get the observing done. This is one of the latest targets we observed (called MOA-2009-BLG-163) which was taken on the 28th of May

We hope to get more observing done over the next week or so. Our next session on the southern telescope is on Monday and we might have more news then.
