I wish we would have done better on our imaging, but this project prodded us into learning much more about image calibration and what is needed to take scientific images. The best part of the entire project was the night of July 3/4 when we had a special event in the planetarium. On one side of the dome we were watching the control room for the Deep Impact project on NASA TV, and a live video feed from the Herrett telescope on the other. We did see the brightening of the comet just after impact. Original content, while the project was in progress... We have been accepted as part of the Small Telescope Science Project of the Deep Impact mission. That means that we will be using the Herrett Telescope to image comet Tempel-1 before and after July 4th, when it will be hit by a 820 lb mostly copper impactor.  Deep Impact Home   STSP Home
