Educational activities

As over the past few years a course in observation astrophysics was organized by Stockholm University using the telescope over a period of 5 nights in May. Unfortunately this time the course was heavily affected by the problems with the power supply unit of the azimuth drive and a large part of observing time was lost.

Also, a NORFA-sponsored summer school in Lithuania used the telescope remotely over a period of 4 nights in August. Observations were done using the fast-photometry software running in a remote xterm, while the data were automatically copied to our ftp server for retrieval. The operation of the telescope was done by the NOT staff.
