Pat Boyce – BARO and BASRO: Experiences in building and operating your own observatory
11:30 - 11:45
BRIEF (aka Boyce-Astro) has two remote robotic remote observatories for student research. Five cameras are available any night for students to operate for time-series photometry (e.g. exoplanets), speckle interferometry, astrophotography and virtual star parties. We will summarize their capabilities, limitations, and our experiences in bringing these systems online for student operation and research.
