An Online Telescope Brings Star Gazing Home
To access the Internet, we must first open up our Internet browser. Once the browser has been activated we can either select one of our favorite web sites or go to the address bar & type in the Internet address that we wish to access. Generally, when typing in the web sites address we begin with the letters www. These initials stand for World Wide Web.
Now, how ever, by logging on to certain web sites, we can view & gain information through our computers that transcends the World Wide Web. Through our computers we can capture, view & study images that are obtained from far beyond the earths atmosphere. And so… Specifically, through the internet, we have the opportunity of viewing worlds beyond our world by accessing an on line telescope.
How It Works
The process involved in accessing an on line telescope viewing opportunity requires coordinating of viewing times & dates. An individual, at the participating observatory, is normally assigned to coordinate the requests. Once the e-mail has been received & the time is scheduled, the coordinator, that is facilitating the use of the on line telescope, will respond to the request.
The process is completed once the telescope records the images that were viewed based on the given request. Once the images are posted an e-mail, with the link, is sent to the individual who made the request. That individual can then just simply click on to the imbedded link & access the photos that reflect their specific request provided by the on line telescope.
Two Viewing Methods
The individual making the request can ask that the on line telescope be utilized a number of ways. Clear? In addition, the observatory may honor requests for different colored filters to be utilized when requested by the viewer.
One of the viewing methods includes the viewer requesting that certain specific coordinates be captured. These coordinates may correspond to the position of a specific star, system, etc. If the person making the request is asking for specific coordinates to be observed, they can achieve this by accessing the available catalogs that can assist provide these specific coordinates.
The other method simply gives an image by the on line telescope of the general areas of space. The on line user can simply request that the planet Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, etc, be viewed by the on line telescope & that its image be captured. In addition, this method can simply request that general areas of deep space be observed.
