Welcome to the new RCT Consortium Blog!

Hi,

I thought that it might be nice if there was a place where I could regularly post about the happenings at the telescope and anything else RCT-related.

My aim is to post in this blog at least once a week to keep everyone updated on how the telescope is performing.

The type of items I will be posting on:

  • Current telescope stats (good observing nights, images taken etc)
  • Any observing issues
  • Conferences/Meetings
  • Pretty pictures
  • etc!

Please send me your feedback – I want to make this blog as useful as possible!

 

Thanks,

Rachel
