Description

This is a short image of the Seagull, only 3 hours and the files are given to teachers and kids, that are in the amateur astronomy groups at their schools. The lights and all calibration files will be given, as well as help on using some free software to do the analysis and identification of the main objects in the field. Hopefully some of them will later follow engineering or science careers.
Astrophotography is a nice route for kids to get introduced to mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, software engineering and, of course, physics and astronomy.
