Current Status

COAST and PIRATE's computer hardware and software have been upgraded and the COAST camera replaced. A new weather station is controlling the dome opening.

The telescopes are available for live viewing by students on OU Astronomy courses.

Images previously sent to the telescopes are now being returned.


Planned Outages

The weather data is not yet available on telescope.org, but should be within the week.

Requests in the queue will start being sent to the telescopes in the next two weeks. It will take a further week to clear the backlog before new requests will be returned.
