Binary Speckle Course Starts May 28

Boyce Astro - Orbital Plot

Our Binary Speckle Interferometry course begins May 28. It uses the BARO remote observatory and will meet weekly through the summer. Participants will observe binary stars to refine orbital ephemerides and possibly suggest new orbital models. These stars are too close to be visually separated and measured with standard astronomical cameras. Successful project teams produce peer-reviewed publications, typically for the Journal of Double Star Observations. Applications are now being accepted—join the Wait List to secure your spot.
