Construction of an Astronomical Observatory and Educational Activitiesof Astronomy

Yuji SASAI

In the International Year of Astronomy 2009, we built an astronomical observatory and started astronomy education.We have already held eleven sessions of open lectures entitled "Astronomical Observation Meeting - You are a FutureGalileo, too! - " for elementary and junior high school students. An "Internet Astronomical Observatory" is equipmentthat a user can operate remotely in real time using an Internet web browser. We have constructed the "Tsuyama InternetAstronomical Observatory", which is equipped with a 35cm diameter Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and a cooling CCDcamera.

Key words : astronomy education, open lecture, internet astronomical observatory
