Description

During the last 3 years, affordable Smart Robotic Astronomical Imaging Systems have appeared in the market. These easy-to-use systems allow beginners to control a telescope system with a mobile phone or tablet and start imaging in as short as 5 minutes. These systems (ZWO Seestar and Celestron Origin) were use in an Astronomy Elective class at the University of San Carlos. This allows the students to image galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, etc. This workshop will discuss on how these systems work and how they can be used in Astronomy Education.
