• Astronomy in the Classroom!
  Software Bisque is continues to turn "astro science into child's play." Already with a critical role in the "Telescopes in Education" program at the Mt. Wilson Institute, their latest endeavour (see Cutting-edge Astronomy in the Classroom in the February 1996 issue of Sky & Telescope) is to help a local high school setup a remote observatory using Software Bisque's Remote Astronomy Software. The students will use an 8-inch telescope fitted with an SBIG Model ST-5 camera, along with TheSky and SkyPro software, to study long-period variable stars. Their data will be used by researchers from the University of Denver.
