It's been a while since we've been in touch, but with good reason! My dome has been a hive of activity, with major hardware upgrades now nearing completion. Here is a sneak peek of what has been happening in our @Aus_ScienceWeek #scienceweek video! youtube.com/watch?v=mcK-W2a_…

Two of these posted today today - our next @UofAlabama virtual astronomy public night is a show-and-tell about our Crimson Dragon imaging system, which is a pseudo-portable (or perhaps larval) form of Dragonfly Array or @AstroHuntsman vimeo.com/showcase/7214433/v…

All creatures great and small are worried about Light Pollution. Here is two images of a friendly creepy crawly who photobombed our all sky camera last night at the @MacAstronomy observatory. #mymq @AstroHuntsman @MQPhysAstro

Last Friday, @MQEngineering and @MQPhysAstro co-hosted Girraween high school year 10 students so they could learn how we can use low cost robotic telescopes to search for transiting exoplanets around other stars. @MQSciEng

Our own @MQPhysAstro Jaime Alvarado Montes & his colleagues, led by @MarioSucerquia from @UdeA in Colombia, modeled the interplay between exomoons & the giant planets they could orbit. @AstroHuntsman @AAOMacquarie

Exoplanet photometry with @AstroHuntsman, which uses the PANOPTES Observatory Control System (POCS). Jaime even compares the FOV and étendue directly to PANOPTES.
