LT Maintainance

It is time again for the Liverpool Telescope to have a checkup! Over the next few weeks several systems on the telescope will be overhauled and a few upgrades installed.

Unfortunately, these upgrades mean that the LT will be offline from 7th June 2006 for about two weeks. During this time, NSO observers and professional astronomers will be unable to obtain images of the night sky. However, you can still use Go Observing to order images, but they will not be taken until the LT is back up and running later in the month. In the meantime, you could always look at observations in the LT archive, which contains hundreds of images taken by other schools in the past.

Do not forget to watch the progress of the work on the webcam.
