Welcome to the
STUDENT TELESCOPE NETWORK homepage

The Student Telescope Network (STN) is a collaborative project to enable high school students interested in astronomical observing, to access a telescope with digital camera in a remote dark location via the internet, and to pursue basic observational research.

There is an amazing variety of stuff out there in the universe, most of which defies human understanding! To go looking around with the internet telescope, you first need to have an idea of what's there to be seen, and what tools you are using to see them.

GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE UNIVERSE: You need to learn about telescopes, coordinates, stars, nebulae, galaxies, planets, asteroids and comets -------> Want to use this telescope?
