We’re collaborating with Starfront Observatory to hunt science targets with the Nighthawk telescope. This 24″, wide-field telescope will get Pamela and other team researchers chasing down targets that flicker, flare, and move in the night. We invite you to join us as the telescope gets commissioned and put to use exploring our Solar System and beyond.
