I don’t have a telescope. How can I participate?

There are several ways in which you can participate. You may team up and use a telescope owned by a friend, astronomy club, local college or planetarium observatory. There are several private telescope vendors at observing locations all over the world from which interested observers may purchase telescope time such as Sierra Stars Observatory Network, iTelescope.net or LightBuckets. (Note: Target Asteroids! does not endorse any specific vendor.) In addition, Target Asteroids! partners with the International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC) for annual asteroid measuring campaigns. IASC partners with large private and public observatories to provide images for schools and students. Then participants measure the computer images for astrometry (position with respect to background stars) and submit the data. Contact us at Target_Asteroids@lpl.arizona.edu for more information.
