of physics Katrina Hay. “It requires long exposures or stacked images, focusing in cold dark conditions, climbing a ladder to access the telescope, tracking objects as they move across the sky, and merging several color-filtered images to make a full-color image. Then the physics begins! Our students optimize these skills to capture the best images for use in their investigations- observing dynamics, temperatures, and luminosity of celestial objects,” Hay concluded.
