Orion and the Pleiades rising with the morning sun (during #LunarEclipse2019) as PAN008 completes its first real night of observations. @TESSatMIT is switching to the northern hemisphere sectors during the next 48 hours, but we'll make sure to keep watching those southern skies!

Exoplanet photometry with @AstroHuntsman, which uses the PANOPTES Observatory Control System (POCS). Jaime even compares the FOV and étendue directly to PANOPTES.
Listening Jaime Andrés Alvarado Montes @MQPhysAstro @MacAstronomy @MQSciEng talking about getting high-precision exoplanet photometry with @AstroHuntsman

Yay! Soon I'll be back on sky and I'll have some friends with me! Observatory upgrades are looking good! Get me out of this lab, no exoplanets here! @MQPhysAstro

Project founder Olivier Guyon is giving a press release at #AAS233 about imaging habitable exoplanets with the next generation of large ground-based telescopes with SCExAO. Exciting science ahead!
Mary Dussault of the MicroObservatory shows off some cool work on the giant NASA Hyperwall. The MicroObservatory is one of our Universe of Learning projects and we'll be doing a fun new partnership with them in the coming months using PANOPTES data. #AAS233

Just because I'm a robot doesn't mean I know how to use social media! Should have said @MicroObs!

We're hiring a post-doc to help with data processing and survey design. If you're at #AAS233 look for our flyer and come see our talk on Thursday!

We're at AAS233 and are excited to see our friends from 'Imiloa (home of the demo unit PAN004) giving the opening talk!
We're hiring! Want to help us find exoplanets and do a little outreach at the same time? We're looking for a post-doc to help with our data reduction pipeline. Check out the AAS job ad: jobregister.aas.org/ad/e2608…
Going to @SVComicCon? You should check @MimmingCodes' PANOPTES session on Sunday at 2:30 pm register.growtix.com/schedul… #SVCC

Thanks to @DiscoverMag for the great writeup about PANOPTES! Citizen science + exoplanets = yay buff.ly/29MPEl1
Do you know what PANOPTES stands for? It's short for Panoptic Astronomical Networked OPtical observatory for Transiting Exoplanets Survey
