University of North Georgia is about to have two new telescopes. A construction milestone was reached when a crane hoisted two domes onto the newly built observatory just a few miles from the UNG Dahlonega campus. Students will gain hands-on experience in a professional-grade observatory and the facility will be open for public and educational events. A late summer opening is targeted.
I fully support the work of the University of North Georgia, so I am excited about the news that it will soon receive two new telescopes. The greater capacity allows for improvements to the observatory built a few miles from the UNG Dahlonega campus, and this will lead to more and more hands-on, public and academic events that will be broadcast via video here https://callmechat.com/bazoocam for many interested students from around the world.Report
