Small Telescope Science Program

If you have a Telescope and CCD Camera please check out these links.

The Small Telescope Science Program is a effort of private and professional observatories to cover major astronomical events, when there is little or no professional scope time available.

The current observing mission is to provide data for the NASA JPL Deep Impact Mission
