| Research Abstract |
We have held seventeen sessions of open lectures entitled "Astronomical Observation Meeting - You are a Future Galileo, too! - " for elementary and junior high school students. These open lectures educated assistant students who operated telescopes. The assistant students also worked on observation of eclipsing binaries and Seyfert galaxies. In March 2012, we constructed an astronomical observatory on the rooftop of our school building. This observatory is equipped with an equatorial mount and a 35cm diameter ACF (Advanced Coma-Free) telescope. The Gemini 2 system of this equatorial mount can be controlled by the Web browser of a PC on a network. We also investigated the control of our astronomical observatory using the ASCOM (AStronomy Common Object Model) platform.
