I didn't see this posted elsewhere yet, and thought others would be interested.

" 100 Hours of Remote Astronomy
Free access to remote telescopes around the world!

Telescope time given by: Bellatrix Observatory, Cherry Mountain Observatory, GRAS, LightBuckets, MicroObservatory, MyTelescope.com

Organized by: 100 Hours and Gianluca Masi (of the Virtual Telescope)

Date: 2-5 April (runs over the entire 100 Hours of astronomy)



100 Hours of Remote Astronomy (or 100HRA) is an opportunity for you to control remote telescopes around the world, and take pictures with them. Several observatories are very kindly giving free time on their telescopes during 100 Hours of Astronomy! You don't need any experience or astronomical background, just an appreciation for the beauty of the night sky. And it will not cost you anything!"

That some of it. If anyone is interested, just follow the link.

This should be moved to Ask the Astronomer.

Yes, it starts April 2nd. I signed up at the Bellatrix Observatory for live view at night. It will definately be interesting and there are a lot of open spaces yet so anyone interested should sign up. They are doing some other events, too. Worth checking out.
