Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have held twelve 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 students also worked on observation of eclipsing binaries and extrasolar planets. In December 2015, we renewaled the astronomical telescope system in the east astronomical observatory. This new system is equipped with an equatorial mount and a 35cm diameter ACF (Advanced Coma-Free) telescope. StarLock system of the equatorial mount makes target acquisition on an imaging sensor and accurate guiding during exposures completely automatic. We also made the photometric analysis of the eclipsing binary stars (HW Vir).
