Today, we are announcing the new contests for October 2023! If you are new to our monthly contests, you should read the general rules first.

Since its launch in late 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revolutionized our view of the universe, giving us unprecedented details of distant galaxies and stars.

Getting optimum focus for your imaging data is absolutely critical to get the best image you can.  Poor focusing is one of the major reasons for poor quality data.  Novice astro imagers know that focusing is af

Hello, there!  It’s Marco here, and we're beyond excited to bring you a brand-new feature to your Telescope Live experience. 

A new study performed by an international team of researchers including those at The University of Manchester and University of Victoria has made a surprising discovery – galaxies like the Milky way are more common than w

Suggested targets for winter 2023 / 2024

Our telescopes have captured images of a recent supernova called SN 2023rve, which exploded in the galaxy NGC 1097. SN 2023rve is now the brightest supernova in the sky, with a magnitude of about 13.9.

After surveying hundreds of extinct quasars, a team led by Professor Nobunari Kashikawa from the Department of Astronomy has found the behaviour of these active objects to be consistent through time.
