ATEO-2A and 2B are Insight Observatory's first affiliate imaging systems owned and provided by SkyPi Remote Observatory Managing Member, John Evelan. John agreed to partner up with Insight Observatory with the intention of providing a remote telescope that compliments remote telescopes ATEO-1 and ATEO-3. John shares the same outlook that Insight Observatory has regarding astronomy education outreach to educational institutions, the public, and amateur astronomers.
Although we are currently able to obtain amazing images of deep-sky objects with ATEO-2A and the planets with ATEO-2B, this high quality of imaging will also provide students with full capability of participating in research projects. These projects can be extragalactic supernova search, variable star measurement and basic concepts of astronomical imaging.
What equipment is used to capture the images?
Specifications of the ATEO-2A 5" Refractor Imaging System:
Specifications of the ATEO-2B 6" f/12 Classical Cassegrain Reflector Imaging System:
